I am informed by the Garda authorities that a burglary occurred at the home of the chief bureau officer of the Criminal Assets Bureau on 28 March 2006, during which a vehicle and a briefcase were taken. The property was subsequently recovered later the same day. This incident remains under investigation and to date no person has been made amenable for this crime. I am assured by the Garda authorities that no criminal investigation or prosecution will be compromised as a result of this incident.
