I am informed by the Garda authorities that a full Garda investigation into missing files at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda, County Louth was previously carried out and a file forwarded to the Law Officers. The Law Officers directed that there should be no prosecution.
The subsequent report of Judge Harding Clarke has been examined by the Gardaí with a view to ascertaining if the enquiry has identified any other area that should be examined in order to advance the criminal investigation. One area has been identified and investigations concerning this matter are currently being conducted.
