I am informed by the Garda authorities that an investigation file on this tragic death was referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions, DPP. Having considered the matter, he issued directions that no prosecution should ensue. The legal representatives of the family of the person referred to have been informed of the DPP's directions. My Department has today been furnished with a copy of the report of that investigation, which will now be examined.
