I refer the Deputy to my reply to Parliamentary Questions Nos. 657 and 700 for written answer on 27 May 2014:

I would like to express my sincere condolences to the family concerned for the tragic loss of life in the case referred to by the Deputy. The Deputy will appreciate that I do not have a role in the investigation of criminal cases or the conduct of inquests. However, the Deputy may be aware that the Garda investigation into the death of the person he has referred to is the subject of a complaint which has been received by my Department. I am currently considering my response and I will contact the Deputy again in relation to it.

I understand that the incident referred to in the correspondence in question, which is addressed to the Garda authorities, is the subject of a complaint and has been referred to the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission. The Deputy will appreciate that in these circumstances it would not be appropriate for me to comment further on the matter.
