The investigation into the killing of the individual in question remains active and ongoing. An Garda Síochána is leading the investigation, which has a significant cross-border element. Liaison with the Police Service of Northern Ireland was established at the outset of this investigation, and the Gardaí continue to receive comprehensive assistance from the PSNI. To date sixteen individuals have been arrested in connection with this investigation; seven of these in this jurisdiction, and nine in Northern Ireland. As I have stated in previous replies, I can assure the Deputy that everything will continue to be done to apprehend those responsible for this brutal crime.
