I assume the Deputy is referring to allegations made about illegal fishing. When this matter was brought to my attention, I arranged to have the matter formally referred to the Garda Síochána with a request for an investigation.
I understand that the Garda Síochána is conducting an investigation into the matter. That investigation is solely a matter for the Garda and I have no role in it. As the timeframe and conduct of the investigation are matters solely for the Garda, I consider that it would be inappropriate for me to comment further or make a statement on the matter.
