Question 21: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if, in regard to the death of a person (details supplied) in County Offaly in February 2002, and the fact that there has been an acknowledgement by the Commissioner of the Garda that there were several failings in the original Garda investigation and that a subsequent re-investigation was ordered, he accepts the need for an appropriate mechanism to be found for an independent review of the entire Garda investigation; if, notwithstanding the fact that it is not yet fully operational, he will request the office of the Garda ombudsman to initiate a full inquiry into all aspects of the inquiry in view of the seriousness of the issues raised; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
