Martin Kenny: I thank the witnesses for their interesting presentation. I wish to raise a couple of matters.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Interim Report on Review of Youth Referrals: An Garda Síochána (13 Feb 2019)

Martin Kenny: I understand that. Without going into the specifics of the case, the issue relates to where there has been a sexual assault.
