Vol. 558 No. 2
99 Ms O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he has received the report sought from the Garda Commissioner into the treatment of two persons (details supplied) arrested in Grafton Street in April 1998, who received an apology and undisclosed damages in a settlement announced in the High Court on 12 July 2002; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23713/02]
The Deputy will be aware that this case was the subject of extensive media reporting in July of this year and that I answered a similar question about the case as recently as 17 October.
Following the settlement made in the High Court on 12 July 2002, I sought a full Garda report on the matter and the Commissioner directed an examination of all aspects of the case. The Commissioner has now informed me that the examination is at an advanced stage but has not yet been finalised.
