I am advised by the Garda authorities that a thorough and comprehensive review of this case has been ongoing since 2011 under the direction of Assistant Commissioner, Northern Region. All aspects of the original Garda investigation and subsequent reviews have also been examined by the Garda Review Team. The Garda Review Team is endeavouring to advance the investigation into the disappearance of this person and all avenues of investigation are being pursued in that regard. I am further advised that the appointed Garda Family Liaison Officer continues to maintain contact with the agreed contacts within the family in question. I understand that the relative referred to in the details supplied has made a detailed statement to the Garda Síochána as part of the investigation. As this is an ongoing Garda inquiry, I hope the Deputy will appreciate that it would not be appropriate for me to comment on the specific issues referred to in the details supplied.
