Further to my replies to Parliamentary Question Nos 377 of 27 June 2006 and 156 of 17 October, the investigation referred to remains ongoing. It is a very comprehensive investigation and, as I have indicated previously, my Department will, in the event of sufficient evidence being established, endeavour to pursue a prosecution. As I have advised the Deputy previously, given the nature and stage of the investigation, I am not in a position to comment any further on its progress at this stage nor would it be appropriate for me to do so.
