I propose to take Questions Nos. 432, 439 and 440 together.

I can confirm that I have received correspondence in relation to the matters referred to by the deputy, including a copy of the book referred to. As the correspondence contains allegations of criminal actions I have referred the correspondence, and the book, to the Garda Commissioner for appropriate attention.

The Deputy will appreciate that the investigation of any criminal act is a matter for An Garda Síochána and I do not have a role in the conduct of any such investigations. In the circumstances it would not be appropriate for me to comment further on these matters.
