The Deputy will be aware that I have already received a preliminary Garda report on this distressing incident.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that the investigation into the death of the person referred to by the Deputy, which is being carried out by an officer from outside the Garda division concerned, is at an advanced stage. I have requested the Garda authorities to submit the final report to me as soon as it is completed. When received, I will consider its contents. A completed investigation file will also be submitted by the Garda authorities to the Director of Public Prosecutions for his consideration.
