The callous and brutal murder of Garda Fallon was of course a terrible tragedy for his family and an affront to the democratic institutions of this State.

I am advised by the Garda Commissioner that the Serious Crime Review Team of An Garda Síochána, which is carrying out a review of this case, expects to be in a position to conclude their inquiries by May, 2015. I am further informed by the Garda Commissioner that the Review Team continues to communicate with a member of the victim's family regarding the status of that review.

In the circumstances I think it would be best to await the outcome of the Review Team's inquiries.
