It would appear from the correspondence submitted by the Deputy that the individual concerned has made a complaint to the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission.

As the Deputy is aware, the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission is a statutory independent body which was set up to receive complaints made by members of the public concerning the conduct of members of the Garda Síochána. The Ombudsman Commission is independent in the exercise of its functions and I have no function in relation to the processing of individual complaints which are referred to it for investigation.
