I am informed by the Garda authorities that the member was examined by the Garda Chief Medical Officer in relation to his application for compensation under the Garda Síochána (Compensation) Acts, 1941 and 1945. Prior to finalising his report the Garda Chief Medical Officer requires further medical reports from two medical specialists. Upon receipt of this information his report and a report from the Garda Commissioner will be forwarded to my Department for a decision on his application.
