I am informed by the Garda authorities that the person in question was arrested and detained for questioning, pursuant to the Offences against the State Act 1939, as amended, in February 2005 in the course of a Garda investigation arising from the seizure of a large amount of cash in the State. I am further informed that this person was subsequently released without charge.

I understand that a Garda investigation file has been submitted to the Director of Public Prosecutions in respect of this ongoing investigation and that directions are awaited.
