The information requested is currently being compiled and I will write to the Deputy directly once the information is to hand.
I can assure the Deputy that my Department is working to have an appropriate answer for both PQ 3749/24 and PQ 5514/24 ready shortly.

As the Deputy will be aware, the prosecution of offences in these instances are a matter for An Garda Síochána and the Director of Public Prosecutions, who are independent in the exercise of their functions in this regard; as Minister I have no role in such prosecutions.
