I propose to take Questions Nos. 124 to 126, inclusive, together.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that the Commissioner has appointed a Detective Superintendent to conduct an in-depth review of Garda files and records in order to ascertain the facts surrounding the information referred to by the Deputy. This review is currently ongoing.
I can also inform the Deputy that I meet regularly with my Northern Ireland counterpart David Ford. We met most recently on 19 June in Armagh and had the opportunity to discuss a full range of issues of mutual concern relating to North-South policing and justice co-operation, including child sexual abuse and related issues. The Deputy will appreciate, of course, that the Historical Institutional Abuse inquiry is an independent statutory inquiry established by and reporting to the Northern Ireland Executive. That inquiry process is ongoing and any conclusions or findings or relevance to this jurisdiction will be studied as and when they are made, taking into account in particular the historical inquiries which have already been carried out in this jurisdiction.
