Question 195: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform , further to Parliamentary Question No. 718 of 12 April 2005, if the Garda received a report of a person (details supplied) in Dublin being attacked; the number of other similar attacks in the same area to date in 2005; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

A report from the person in question was received and the incident remains under investigation and no person has been made amenable to date. It is not practice to comment upon ongoing Garda investigations, which are operational matters for the Garda authorities.

To date in 2005, there are six recorded instances of similar attacks in the area of the towpath or canal bank. Garda foot patrols are giving coverage and attention to that area.
