While I have not met the person in question in my capacity as Minister, I have recently received a petition on their behalf in addition to further correspondence from their legal representative. On foot of this, I have sought a report from the Garda authorities with respect to the issues of concern. While this report is awaited, I have been assured there is currently ongoing contact between local Garda management and the person's legal representatives regarding the case. I can assure the Deputy that I fully appreciate the concerns expressed by the person in question and will respond to her after I have received and considered this report.
