Vol. 452 No. 7
37 Mr. Browne (Wexford) asked the Minister for Justice, in view of the fact that it is over one year since the brutal murder of Philomena Gillane near Ballinasloe, County Galway, if she can give any indication that meaningful progress has been made in the Garda investigation. [8421/95]
It is not the practice for the Minister for Justice to give detailed information to the House about particular Garda investigations except in those situations where the circumstances of an investigation are so exceptional that such a course of action is deemed to be appropriate. However, I have been informed by the Garda authorities that an intensive investigation into this case is continuing.
