Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 February 2005
185 Mr. F. McGrath asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if a person (details supplied) was in charge when a young unarmed Irish citizen was shot dead by security forces while trying to give himself up; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5542/05]
View answerThe information I have is that the circumstances of the death in question were investigated under the supervision of the Police Complaints Authority in Britain. The resulting report was sent to the Crown Prosecution Service which concluded that there was insufficient evidence on which to base a prosecution of the police officer involved. The subsequent inquest concluded with a verdict by the jury of "lawful killing".
