As I have previously informed the Deputy, following the publication of an article concerning this case in October 2010, representations were made requesting an investigation of the matters raised in it. The Commissioner arranged for a Detective Superintendent to meet the author of the article and the persons making the representations to make an assessment whether there was any evidence not available to the original investigation team and further investigation was required in this case. As a result, a number of lines of inquiry were identified and have or are being pursued. I understand that, arising from this, a report will be prepared for the Garda Commissioner shortly.
