View answerThe investigation into the killing of the individual in question is active and ongoing. An Garda Síochána is leading the investigation, which has a significant cross-border element. Liaison with the Police Service of Northern Ireland was established at the outset of this investigation, and the Garda continues to receive comprehensive assistance from the PSNI. To date fourteen individuals have been arrested in connection with this investigation; seven of these in this jurisdiction, and seven in Northern Ireland. The House can be assured that everything will continue to be done to bring the perpetrators of this brutal crime to justice.
