Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (Deputy Willie Penrose)

As Minister for Housing and Planning I have no function in relation to enquiries by An Garda Síochána. The manner in which the relevant appointments were made in 2002 is set out in Section 106 of the Planning and Development Act, 2000. I am satisfied, based on an examination of the relevant files by my Department, that the proper procedures were followed in the particular appointments cited.
