Charles Flanagan (Laois, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am considering further steps that I, as Minister for Justice and Equality, can and will take in order to ensure that the events of recent weeks do not take place again. There are important lessons to be learned. We should look at this in the context of the overall review of the Department of Justice and Equality, which has been under way for some time and which will now be accelerated. I do not think it is reasonable for us to enter into a debate now on the specific Garda case referred to by Deputy Wallace. I would be happy to communicate with the Deputy at a very early date. I am aware of the file and I am aware of actions being taken.
