I want to raise again the case of George Nkencho. It is my understanding that the inquest into the death of George Nkencho is due to reconvene in June. However, it is also my understanding that the inquest cannot properly reconvene until such time as the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, GSOC, investigation into his death is complete. That investigation is not yet complete. The Nkencho family had been given to believe that it would be completed before the one-year anniversary of George's death, that is, by the end of December last year but several months on, that is still not the case. Now the delay in the investigation is threatening to delay the reconvening and conclusion of the inquest. This family have been through untold trauma which is being added to by these delays. I would like to hear the Taoiseach's comments on this matter.
