View answerThe Deputy will appreciate that criminal investigations are properly dealt with by An Garda Síochána in the first instance and I, as Minister for Justice and Equality, have no role in relation to the conduct of particular Garda investigations.
However, to be of assistance to the Deputy, I have requested a report from the Garda authorities in relation to this matter and I will respond to the Deputy directly when a report is to hand.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 42A
I refer to your recent Parliamentary Question (No. 119 of 30 May 2017) where you sought:"...when An Garda Síochána will complete their investigation into an incident....".
As you may recall, the information you requested could not be obtained in the time available.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that the incident in question remains under active investigation by An Garda Síochána. I am sure you will appreciate that as this Garda investigation is ongoing it would not be appropriate for me to make any further comment on the matter at this time.
However, I am advised by the Garda authorities that liaison in being maintained with relatives of the deceased.
I hope you find this information useful.
