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. When that review is completed a report on the matter will be furnished to me by the Garda Commissioner.

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.
