Question:

233 Mr. Higgins (Mayo) asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if the investigations announced by him in Dáil Éireann on 5 May 1999 on the listing of a case at Castlerea District Court have been completed; and when the findings will be brought before Dáil Éireann. [14612/99]

The House will be aware that, on 5 May 1999, I initiated inquiries in relation to the listing of a court case which was heard in Castlerea District Court on 15 January this year. The Garda investigation in the matter is not yet completed but I am informed that the matter will be finalised as soon as possible. The investigation by an official of my Department is almost completed and I expect to receive a report from that official shortly. I understand that the president of the District Court is in the process of conducting an inquiry and that he proposes to present it to the chief justice shortly. It is my intention to report back to the House on this matter in the near future.
