The Deputy will appreciate that the decision as to whether or not a prosecution should be taken, and for what offence, is solely a matter for the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and I have no role in this regard.

However, to be of assistance to the Deputy I have requested a report from the Garda authorities in relation to this matter and I will contact the Deputy directly when the report is to hand.
