The Deputy will appreciate that it is the Garda Commissioner and his management team who are responsible for the investigation of criminal matters and I, as Minister, have no role in this regard.

However, I am advised by the Garda authorities that the incident referred to remains under investigation by An Garda Síochána. The Deputy will appreciate that as this is the subject of an ongoing Garda investigation, I do not propose to comment any further on the matter.
