The Deputy is absolutely right in what he has said. I am informed that An Garda Síochána states it has made full disclosure and is co-operating fully with all requests from GSOC with regard to these investigations. When I hear the Deputy speak about the horrific details of the murder, my first thoughts are with the family and the terrible situation they have had to face.

In terms of the issue raised, the Guerin report investigated 12 cases and made a number of points about how gardaí investigated serious cases. Mr. Guerin made a number of recommendations and I have asked the Garda Inspectorate to take that part of the Guerin report, examine the points made and make any necessary recommendation. The interim Garda Commissioner said An Garda Síochána was examining the report and that implications arose from it, on which she intended to act. I have also asked for the Garda's response to the report.
