My Department has had no responsibility for the establishment or operating of any Tribunal of Inquiry or Commission of Inquiry since 1997. We have when requested responded to requests from a number of external investigations including the Commission of Inquiry into the Dublin and Monaghan Bombings, the Smithwick Inquiry and from the Garda Síochána. A number of internal investigations have been carried out during that period in relation to matters pertaining to the Defence Forces including Courts of Inquiry arising from accidents/incidents involving members of the Defence Forces.
