I have advised the Deputy on a number of previous occasions that I have been informed by the Garda authorities that the case in question which dates from 1989, was the subject of a thorough investigation.

The Deputy will be well aware that complaints were also made to the Garda Síochána Complaint Board, an independent statutory body, who further investigated the matter and found no evidence of an offence or breach of discipline on the part of the Garda members concerned.

There is no new or additional evidence available which would warrant the holding of any further inquiry and certainly not a Commission of Inquiry as suggested by the Deputy's question.
