The particular case to which the Deputy refers is amongst those considered under the mechanism established for the independent review of certain allegations of Garda misconduct, or inadequacies in the investigation of certain allegations, which have been made to me as Minister for Justice and Equality, or the Taoiseach with a view to determining to what extent and in what manner further action may be required in each case. A panel consisting of two senior and five junior counsel was established for that purpose.

I refer the Deputy to my reply to Parliamentary Question 598 of 3 November 2015 and advise that, apart from the fact that 306 complainants have now been informed of the outcome of their cases considered by the Independent Review Mechanism, the position has not changed.

I can confirm, however, that a letter notifying the person concerned of the outcome of the consideration of her complaint by the Independent Review Mechanism issued earlier this week.
