402 Mr. Higgins (Mayo) asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if the Garda have completed their investigations into the murder of two women (details supplied) at Grangegorman, Dublin 7; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21345/97]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 36, 43, 80, 91, 95, 112 and 402 together.
It is not the practice for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to make statements to the House about the progress of individual Garda investigations except in 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 a person has been charged, on the directions of the DPP, with the murder of one of the two persons referred to by the Deputies. Arising from information which arose in another context, the Garda Commissioner has appointed a senior officer to review all the circumstances of the case. This review is ongoing.
