I propose to take Questions Nos. 245 and 247 together.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that the investigation into the death of the person referred to by the Deputies was the subject of an intensive review in 2004. I am further informed that the Garda Commissioner appointed the Assistant Commissioner, Northern Region, to examine the investigation file, which remains open and is under the supervision of the Assistant Commissioner. Liaison is being maintained with the family of the person referred to.

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