As I indicated in my reply to the Deputy on 16 October, I instructed the Irish Embassy in Paris to contact the Tribunal de la Police again to request an update on the investigation into the assault suffered by the person concerned.

In response to the Embassy's immediate representations, a reply from the Police Commissioner in Lourdes was received on 12 December on the outcome of the police investigation. This stated that the Police Commissioner had decided that no further investigation or follow-up was required as it was not possible, in his view, to establish sufficiently the facts of the case.

Our Embassy has informed the person concerned of this decision, which I very much regret.
