Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 April 2014
460. Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the progress the Government has made in implementing the recommendations of the Moriarty tribunal report; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17801/14]
View answerInsofar as the report of the Moriarty Tribunal made recommendations concerning the future operation of tribunals of inquiry, many of these recommendations are anticipated by the Tribunals of Inquiry Bill 2005 which awaits Report Stage debate in the Dáil. Other recommendations are the subject of consultation with the Attorney General and other relevant Departments.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that, following their examination of the report of the Moriarty Tribunal, the advice of the Director of Public Prosecutions has been sought on the findings of that examination, with a view to determining whether or not a full Garda investigation should now be commenced. As this process is ongoing it would not be appropriate to comment in any further detail at this stage.
