My Department has received a significant number of emails expressing support for the case referred to by the Deputy. I fully appreciate the genuine concerns which are set out in this correspondence and, of course, the distress and ongoing impact for the individual concerned. The situation remains, however, that the concerns raised regarding this tragic case were the subject of an independent examination a number of years ago by a Senior Counsel whose conclusions were accepted by the then Minister. In keeping with that review's findings, I do not believe that there are grounds for me to take this matter further.
