I am informed by the Garda authorities that the Serious Crime Review Team is currently reviewing twenty-seven cases. In fifteen of these cases review reports have been drafted and forwarded to the senior investigating officers in charge of each case.

I am further informed that a trial is scheduled to commence in March, 2012 in respect of one case. The remaining eleven reviews are ongoing and are at varying stages of completion.
