As the Deputy will be aware, I have previously indicated that An Garda Síochána advised that they had no record of any complaint or investigation arising from the matters referred to by the Deputy. I have, however, sought an up to date report from the Garda authorities in this regard and will contact the Deputy again when it is available.
