The person referred to by the Deputy had requested, by letter of 13 November 2014, that his complaint be referred to the Independent Review Mechanism (IRM) established by the Government to consider certain allegations of Garda misconduct or inadequacies in the investigation of certain allegations. 

His request was considered by the Department and it was determined that his complaint did not fall within the remit of the IRM. The issues he raised were more pertinent to the remit of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. 

My Department advised the person of the above by letter of 25 February 2015. His complaint was referred to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine on 27 February 2015 for attention and direct reply.
