My Department currently has four staff members suspended from work pending the completion of investigations under the Civil Service Disciplinary Code.

In relation to case 1 above this is being dealt with by the Gardaí, who had requested that the Department delay action until completion of their investigations.

In relation to cases 2, 3 and 4 above, the investigations are now complete and appropriate action is being taken in accordance with the Civil Service Disciplinary Code.
