Question 509: To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality the reason the fraud at the National Educational Welfare Board 2003 to 2005 was not investigated by the Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigations; and if he will confirm the date that the detective unit at the Bridewell, Dublin, commenced their investigation into the fraud.

I refer the Deputy to my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 120 of 2 May 2012 in which I informed the Deputy that, insofar as the specific and detailed aspects of the Garda investigation to which he refers are concerned, I have no role in these matters or in decisions concerning investigative strategies in any individual case. These are operational matters for An Garda Síochána on which it would not be appropriate for me to seek details to provide by way of answer to Parliamentary Questions.
