I am aware of reports in the media of such proceedings having been issued but no specific instance has been brought to my attention. Even if it were, I would be most reluctant to comment on it, particularly if it were before the courts. What I can say is that, in the meantime, while all these appeals are being dealt with, every effort is being made by An Garda to ensure each case is examined individually. There are cases in which there may have been a change of address and there are instances where the places of residence of people who got a court summons were not immediately identifiable. Every effort is being made by the Garda to deal with these matters individually. While the appeals process is being engaged in, the outstanding issues can take their course in terms of whatever follow-up action may be required, if any.
