The Deputy will appreciate that the issues raised are a matter for the Garda authorities in the first instance and I have no direct role.
However, to be of assistance I have made enquiries and I am informed by the Garda authorities that in November 2015, Gardaí attached to the Garda National Immigration Bureau executed a search warrant during which a number of items including documentation, as referred to by the Deputy, were seized. I am also advised by the Garda authorities that if the persons referred to require access to an item which was seized by Gardaí, then contact should be made with the Sergeant-in-Charge, Garda National Immigration Bureau (Operation Vantage) at 01 666 9100 in order to facilitate same.
It is also understood that the items in question are the subject of a Police Property Application which is due before the Courts on 15 February, 2017.
