Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 February 2010
254 Deputy Joe Costello asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if the file in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Sligo will be reviewed in order that an investigation will re-open; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5438/10]
View answerI am informed by the Garda authorities that the investigation into the death of the person referred to by the Deputy was the subject of an intensive review in 2004.
I am further informed that the Commissioner appointed the Assistant Commissioner, Northern Region to examine the investigation file, which remains open, and is under the supervision of the Assistant Commissioner. Liaison is being maintained with the family of the person referred to.
The Deputy will appreciate that, as the investigation is ongoing, it would be inappropriate for me to comment further at this time.
