I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that the information provided in response to Parliamentary Question No. 479 of 31 January 2006 was in fact correct.

I am further informed that subsequent to supplying the Deputy with this information, the Land Registry continued its work on the applications concerned and that both Dealing Number D2004SM006350T and Dealing Number D2005SM011496G are now completed.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 157 and 160 together.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that an investigation file in this matter was referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions who instructed that no criminal proceedings be taken in the matter.

As I am sure the Deputy will appreciate, the Director of Public Prosecutions is independent in the performance of his functions and it is not open for me to comment or intervene in his decisions in any way.
