I am informed by the Garda authorities that the Garda Chief Superintendent appointed to conduct an investigation into the matter concerned has submitted his report, which is internal to An Garda Síochána and to the Garda Commissioner.

I am further informed that the 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. These recommendations are being implemented by the Garda authorities.
