Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 November 2020
1077. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Justice the last date on which she and-or her officials were briefed with an update by the DPP and-or An Garda Síochána in respect of the final report of the Moriarty tribunal; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33753/20]
View answerI refer the Deputy to a previous reply in relation to this matter, most recently in response to Parliamentary Question 137 answered on 16 October 2019.
The Deputy will appreciate and the position remains that criminal investigations and other operational matters are, in accordance with the Garda Síochána Act 2005, solely a matter for the Garda Commissioner.
Likewise it is a matter for the DPP to decide, independently in the exercise of her functions, if any charges should be brought and I have no role in these matters.
I am not aware of any updates or briefings by the DPP or Garda Síochána subsequent to that reply.
