Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 4 February 2010
14 Deputy Mary Upton asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if the Assistant Commissioner, who was appointed to examine the Garda investigation file into the 1970 murder of a person (details supplied) in County Sligo, has yet reported. [5617/10]
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.
