I have the highest regard for Ms Justice Marie Baker. Will the Minister indicate when the judge was informed by the Garda - as was implied by the Minister today - of concerns about this particular reported case? In responding to that incident, will the Minister outline if the judge will report directly to the Taoiseach, as is normal, or will she also report the Minister for Justice and Equality? Will the judge's report in this regard be laid before the House or what is the mechanism whereby we can get to the bottom of this story? It is important that we do so, otherwise anything is possible in terms of who may be involved or what the real implications might be. Can the Minister give me a timeline as to when she expects the judge's report? Has the Department or the Minister finally got sight of the issues that the Garda authorities raised with Ms Justice Baker in this particular instance and when did they raise them?
