As the Deputy is no doubt aware, the institution of criminal proceedings is a matter for the Garda Síochána, acting where necessary in consultation with or on the directions of the Attorney General.
I have no doubt that the question of legal proceedings is being or will be considered in relation to the matter mentioned in the question and it is not a matter for me to make any further statement about it, at all events as long as the matter may become the subject of proceedings.
Do I understand from the Minister that he is telling me to complain to the Attorney General?
No, I have not said that.
Sir, I should like to raise this matter on the Adjournment.
The Chair will communicate with the Deputy.
