Minister for Justice and Equality

I am informed by the Garda authorities that, based on the information supplied by the Deputy, they cannot provide material for an accurate response to the matter in question.

If the Deputy wishes to supply material to clarify the matter I will request a further report from the Garda authorities and contact him again when the report is to hand.
