I am informed by the Garda authorities that the matter referred to by the Deputy has been investigated and a file sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for direction. As the Deputy is aware, the DPP is independent in the performance of his functions and it would not be appropriate for me to comment further.
The alleged breach of a court order is a matter which can be addressed only through the courts. The courts are, subject only to the Constitution and the law, independent in the exercise of their judicial functions. It would therefore not be appropriate for me to comment further.
