154. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality her views regarding whether a 15-month wait for the return of a computer taken for examination by the gardaí in connection with the possible commission of a crime is normal or acceptable; and if not, why a person (details supplied) whose computer was taken by Gardaí from Ballyhaunis Garda Station, County Mayo was informed that they would only have it returned 15 months later.

I am advised by the Garda authorities that investigations into the case referred to are ongoing and it would, therefore, be inappropriate for me to make any more detailed comment on the case. The Deputy will also appreciate that the management of particular Garda investigations is a matter for the Garda authorities in the first instance and I have no direct role in this regard.
