Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy. I was here to answer his question. When the High Court makes comments, Government Departments take them very seriously. Government Departments then appraise what action needs to be taken and advise the Minister. The Minister made the decision quite rightly to seek a review into this matter. She wants that review to provide clarity with regard to this specific case. That is important because I do not believe some of the information the Deputy mentioned in good faith is accurate. I believe that information was transmitted from the IPO to the Garda. Therefore, the review regarding the case is important. However, the Deputy's secondary point is one I think we would share.
