I refer the Deputy to Parliamentary Question No. 93 of 6 December 2016 and the written reply to that question. While the position remains the same, it is, of course, open to this individual to seek independent legal advice in relation to their concerns if they so wish.

Reply to Parliamentary Question No. 93 on 6 December, 2016.

I am advised that the matters referred to have been the subject of a Garda investigation and have also come before the Courts. The Deputy will appreciate that it is not open to me to intervene in relation to particular Garda investigations, and that it would not be appropriate for me to comment in relation to the outcome of court proceedings.

However, to be of assistance to the Deputy, I have made arrangements for the correspondence in question to be brought to the attention of the Garda authorities. I am also advised that Gardaí have made contact with the person in question in relation to (their) concerns.
