587. Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will re-open the case of a person (details supplied). [3989/14]
View answerThe Deputy will be aware that this tragic case was the subject of an independent examination by a Senior Counsel who reported in 2007 and whose conclusions were accepted by the then Minister. The Deputy will also appreciate that I have no function in relation to the direction or initiation of criminal investigations, which are a matter for the Garda authorities. I understand that issues raised with An Garda Síochána by legal representatives of the person in question are under consideration by the Garda authorities.
