My Department does not comment on individual cases. However, I can confirm it is standard practice in the case of legal proceedings such as this to conduct a full review of what occurred and improve or amend any procedural or administrative arrangements, including in relation to arrangements with An Garda Síochána, so that the immigration service can continually improve how it conducts its business.
