Written answers
As I advised the Deputy in my responses to previous Parliamentary Questions, I am informed by the Garda authorities that the incident in question, which occurred in 1989, was the subject of a thorough investigation at the time.
Complaints were also made to the Garda Síochána Complaint Board who further investigated the matter and found no evidence of an offence or breach of discipline on the part of the members concerned, whereupon the matter was closed.
As the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Síochána Complaints Board was later replaced by the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission which was established following enactment of the Garda Síochána Act 2005.
