I understand that a report was made to my Department in 1991 in respect of the person mentioned by the Deputy. My Department does not, however, have any record of a meeting with the then Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform with regard to matters referred to in this report. I would like to confirm that all relevant documentation held by my Department on this report was forwarded to the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse in compliance with a discovery order from the commission in June 2003.
