Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 23 November 2005
88 Ms B. Moynihan-Cronin asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the progress which has taken place in the inquiry into the death of a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35734/05]
View answerThe independent statutory inquiry process established by me pursuant to section 12 of the Dublin Police Act 1924, as applied and amended, has been underway for some time following the appointment of Mr. Hugh Hartnett SC on 14 September 2005 to conduct same. Mr. Hartnett decided that the inquiry was to be held in private and he is not, under his terms of reference, required to report to me on a regular basis in relation to any of its aspects, although he is required to report to me with his findings and conclusions which I intend to publish. That said I have had no indication from either Mr. Hartnett or any other party that progress is not being made.
