I am informed by the Garda authorities that there were 62 arrests made nationwide during and relating to the recent State visits, resulting in 47 persons being charged. Seven persons were released without charge pending the submission of a file to the DPP, two others are to be dealt with under the Garda Juvenile Diversion Programme and two others are to be dealt with under the Garda Adult Caution Referral Programme. A number of other incidents remain under investigation.
