Vol. 406 No. 3

Written Answers. - Fraud Investigation.

Roger T. Garland

Ceist:

203 Mr. Garland asked the Minister for Justice if his attention has been drawn to the case of a person (details supplied) against whom documentary evidence has been produced which suggests the fraud has been committed in Ireland; whether he will request the Garda Fraud Squad to conduct an investigation into this case; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

It is not the practice for Ministers for Justice to make statements to the House about individual Garda investigations except in singular instances where the circumstances are so exceptional that such a course is deemed appropriate. All I propose to say in relation to the matter raised here is that the Garda authorities have informed me that a full investigation was conducted and the case was referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions who decided that a prosecution was not warranted.
