View answer449. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if the contents of the section 41 letter from 10 March 2014 was discussed on his 24 March briefing by the Secretary General of his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16423/14]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 444 and 449 together.
The Deputy will be aware that the Government has decided to set up a statutory Commission of Investigation into the recording of telephone calls in certain Garda stations and certain other matters. In this regard the Government has today agreed the terms of reference for the Commission which encompass the type of issues referred to by the Deputy. In the circumstances it would not be appropriate for me to make any further comment in relation to matters which will be addressed in the context of the Commission of Investigation.
