I refer the Deputy to my reply to him in Parliamentary Question No. 363 of 10 December 2013. I am advised by the Garda authorities that the position remains as set out in that response as follows:
I am informed by the Garda authorities that the incident referred to by the Deputy was fully investigated by An Garda Síochána.
I am further informed that this investigation led to the prosecution of 6 people, five of whom pleaded guilty on 27 September 2013 to an offence contrary to Section 4 of the Public Order Act 1994 and were ordered to pay €300 each to a charity and made subject to the provisions of section 1(1) of the Probation of Offenders Act. A sixth person failed to appear before the court and a bench warrant has been issued for his arrest.
The Deputy will appreciate I have no role in relation to the prosecution or trial of offences, or with respect to judicial determinations in individual cases."
