I have received a report from the Garda Authorities in relation to the allegations made in the correspondence referred to by the Deputy and I am informed that the allegations made are the subject of an ongoing Garda investigation.

I am further informed that it is expected that an investigation file on the allegations will be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions in due course. The Deputy will be aware that it is not the practice to comment on ongoing Garda investigations, which are operational matters for the Garda authorities. I am also informed by the Garda authorities that there is no information to support the allegations made in the correspondence.
