As I stated in response to the Deputy's earlier question, the addresses of the victims and their individual training records are personal to the deceased and accordingly this information was not released. In many of these cases, files have been prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions and prosecutions are pending. In other cases, files are being prepared for consideration by the Director of Public Prosecutions. In such cases the training record of the deceased may be used in court as evidence and the release of this information could prejudice potential proceedings. For these reasons, I am advised that it would not be proper to place this information on the public record at this time.
