I am informed by the Garda authorities that the Assistant Commissioner of the Western Region has appointed a Garda Superintendent from outside the Garda Division in which the fatal collision referred to by the Deputy took place to carry out a full assessment of the investigation into the collision. The review will include an assessment of the investigation file forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions. While it is not possible to state when the review will be completed, it is being carried out as expeditiously as possible and it is envisaged that it will be completed in the near future. The review of the investigation along with the recommendations of the appointed officer will then be considered by senior Garda management.
