Written answers

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell)

While I am always anxious to reply comprehensively to questions from Deputies, I regret that in this instance, without specific details being made available by the Deputy, it is not possible for me to comment in relation to the incident to which he refers.
