Written answers

I am informed by the Garda authorities that a comprehensive Garda investigation was carried out into a complaint and a file was submitted to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions who did not direct that any prosecution be taken.

The Director of Public Prosecutions, who is independent in the performance of his functions, makes his decision on the basis of the Garda findings viewed against the background of common and-or statute law. In the circumstances it would be inappropriate for me to comment further on this case.
