In answer to the Deputy's question, I have not recently met the persons referred to in his question but I have met them in the past. I have immense sympathy for the family in this tragic case.

As the Deputy is aware, a number of complaints made to the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission by members of the family are the subject of investigation by GSOC.

I can inform the Deputy that GSOC has now completed its criminal investigation in the case and has provided a copy of the report to the family, the Garda Commissioner and to me as Minister. It is understood that GSOC will publish this report shortly.
