I am informed by the Garda authorities that the review of the case in question is not yet finalised and that a number of matters remain outstanding. I expect to receive an update from the Garda Commissioner when these are finalised. As I indicated in my reply to the Deputy's question on 20 June, I am very aware of the concerns which have been expressed about this case, but feel it is important in the first instance that we allow the present Garda examination to proceed to a conclusion. Upon receipt of Commissioner's report I will then review the situation.
