I refer the deputy to my reply to PQ No 400 of 11th November last which set out the position regarding the conduct of ID parades and indicated that the Garda authorities were researching alternative ways of conducting such parades without the need for the identifying witness to be present or visible to the suspect. This process is ongoing and includes an examination of the technical, administrative and legal issues that arise from the use of electronic forms of ID parades.
