I am informed by the Garda authorities that the incident referred to was fully investigated and an investigation file was submitted to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) who directed no prosecution. The Deputy will appreciate that a decision on whether to prosecute or not in a particular case is a matter for the DPP, who is independent in carrying out her functions.
