Vol. 461 No. 8
48 Miss Harney asked the Minister for Justice the Garda operations which have taken place following an armed raid on a Securicor premises in Waterford in January 1996, and similarities with the raid on Brinks Allied in Dublin in 1995; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [3911/96]
116 Ms O'Donnell asked the Minister for Justice the Garda operations in relation to the armed raid at a Securicor premises in Waterford in January 1996, in view of the similarity between that raid and the raid on Brinks Allied in Dublin in 1995; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4011/96]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 48 and 116 together.
It is not the practice for the Minister for Justice to give detailed information to the House about individual Garda investigations or operations except in singular instances where the circumstances of an investigation are so exceptional that such a course is deemed to be appropriate. I have been informed by the Garda authorities that the robberies in question are still the subject of full and detailed Garda investigations and I cannot comment any further at this stage.
