I would like to again extend my deepest sympathies to all those impacted by this tragic event in Hartstown, and in particular to the Nkencho family.

As the Deputy will be aware, the shooting of Mr George Nkencho is being fully investigated by the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (GSOC), which is the independent statutory body established to investigate such incidents. This is the case with every incident involving the Gardaí that results in the death or serious harm of a person.  I understand this investigation is ongoing.

I am further advised that legal proceedings have recently been initiated against the State in this case and in these circumstances it would not be appropriate for me to comment further.
