Vol. 465 No. 4

Written Answers. - Goldenbridge Orphanage Abuse Allegations.

Helen Keogh

Question:

75 Ms Keogh asked the Minister for Justice the status of the investigation into allegations of abuse of children in Goldenbridge arising initially out of the broadcast of the "Dear Daughter" programme; whether there is an investigation into the alleged death of a baby (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [9793/96]

It is not the practice for the Minister for Justice to make statements to the House about the progress of individual Garda investigations except in singular instances where the circumstances of an investigation are so exceptional that such a course is deemed to be appropriate.

All I propose to say in this case is that I have been informed by the Garda authorities that investigations into the matters referred to by the Deputy are ongoing.
