If the person whose details were supplied has made an application for asylum or subsidiary protection, the Deputy will be aware that it is not the practice to comment on such applications for so long as they remain in the protection process.
I am informed by an Garda Síochána that they are aware of the other matter referred to in the details supplied by the Deputy and have met with the individual concerned. This matter is the subject of thorough investigation and enquiries are ongoing.
The Deputy will appreciate that it would not be appropriate for me to comment on the investigation of individual cases and I as Minister do not have any role in such matters.
