I am informed by the Garda authorities that an aggravated burglary took place at the home of the person referred to on the 7 September, 2006 and that the matter is the subject of an ongoing investigation. The Deputy will be aware that it is not normal practice to comment upon ongoing Garda investigations, which are operational matters for the Garda authorities. While I am sympathetic to the distress caused to the victim and her family by this crime, I consider that a meeting at this time would not serve any beneficial purpose.
