I am informed by the Garda authorities that the Garda member concerned was the subject of an investigation pursuant to the Garda Síochána (Discipline) Regulations 1989 in respect of correspondence forwarded to the Dáil and Seanad. These proceedings were later withdrawn and no action was taken against the member.

I am informed by the Garda Commissioner that he is not aware that the member concerned has taken a complaint to the European Court of Human Rights.
