I am informed by the Garda authorities that the Garda Chief Superintendent appointed to conduct an investigation into the matter concerned has submitted a report to the Garda Commissioner.

I am further informed that his report provides a comprehensive review of the actions taken by all parties in relation to the information supplied by the Austrian authorities through Interpol and makes a number of recommendations to ensure that such an occurrence does not happen in the future.

The report is currently being considered by the Garda Commissioner.
