177. Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the total number of times a Garda investigation has taken place into death by suspected negligence in a hospital setting; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44941/13]

Written answers

Minister for Justice and Equality

I am informed by the Garda authorities that the information requested is not available in the format requested by the Deputy and that it would require a disproportionate expenditure of Garda time and resources to compile it.
