I am informed by the Garda authorities that local Garda management is aware of the incident referred to by the Deputy. The matter is under active Garda investigation, and it is anticipated that an investigation file will be submitted to the Law Officers for consideration as to what charges, if any, should be preferred.

The Deputy will appreciate that, as the investigation is ongoing, it would be inappropriate for me to comment further at this time.
