The Deputy's question effectively seeks legal advice in relation to the issue and execution of a search warrant. As the Deputy is aware, I as Minister for Justice and Equality have no role in the issue or execution of search warrants. Accordingly, I am not in a position to comment on the matter raised by the Deputy.

I might mention, nevertheless, that it is of course open to a member of the public to seek legal advice if they feel their rights may have been infringed in the course of the execution of a search warrant by members of the Garda Síochána, or in appropriate cases to make a complaint to the Garda Ombudsman Commission.
