I am informed by the Garda authorities that a complete review of all the issues surrounding the burial of an unidentified woman, discovered in County Wexford in December, 1995 is currently being conducted by An Garda Síochána. The issue of exhumation will be considered in the context of the review.

I am further informed that prior to the burial of the unidentified body an exhaustive search was carried out involving Interpol and the Missing Persons Bureau at Garda Headquarters in an effort to identify the remains.
