The Deputy is aware that a complaint made by the person referred to in the question was referred to the Independent Review Mechanism (IRM). The IRM was 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 or other public representatives with a view to determining to what extent and in what manner further action may be required in each case.

The outcome of the review in this particular case was communicated to the complainant by letter on 8 February 2016. The letter of notification set out the reasons for the recommendation made by the member of the IRM panel who examined the papers. I accepted that recommendation, as I have done in all of the cases referred to the IRM. The recommendation in this case was that I should take no further action.
