It is acknowledged that my Department receives correspondence on a continuous basis from the named person. The correspondence has been addressed by way of reply appropriate to the individual issues raised by him. Some of the issues raised by him are beyond my policy brief as Minister for Defence and this person has been so advised. I am ware that there has also been correspondence between him and an Garda Síochána. His correspondence continues to be assessed for appropriate reply. The Secretary General of the Department has met twice with the named individual.
