The Deputy will be aware that this tragic case was the subject of an independent examination by a Senior Counsel who reported in 2007 and whose conclusions were accepted by the then Minister. The Deputy will also appreciate that I have no function in relation to the direction or initiation of criminal investigations, which are a matter for the Garda authorities. I understand that issues raised with An Garda Síochána by legal representatives of the person in question are under consideration by the Garda authorities.
