I propose to take Questions Nos. 467 and 472 together.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that gardaí on patrol in Dublin city centre were made aware that an assault had taken place on the person referred to by the Deputy in the Dublin 2 area. Two gardaí attended the scene and commenced an investigation. One person was arrested and charged with assault. I am further informed that the Garda investigation is ongoing. All aspects of the incident will be examined and when completed an investigation file will be forwarded to the law officers for directions.
