My Department requested the television company provide all of the footage available, and any other information it had in relation to the allegations outlined in the programme. Following receipt of this material in relation to the allegations, my Department is now investigating the matter fully and will take action, as appropriate.

I am unable to comment on individual cases which are under investigation.
