I propose to take Questions Nos. 944 and 1036 together.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that this complaint was originally received at the Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigation (GBFI) in May, 2006. The Deputy will be aware from a previous reply that the Garda investigation was a lengthy process due to the complex nature of the investigation which required examination and analysis of a significant volume of information technology data and communications. In particular I am informed that progress in the investigation was hampered because of the unavailability of a person the Gardaí wished to interview. I am further informed that an investigation file was submitted to the Law Officers on 27 January, 2011. Following a number of further enquiries by that office, directions were issued on 2 November, 2011 not to prosecute.
