Thomas P. Broughan

Ceist:

39 Mr. Broughan asked the Minister for Justice the allegations and background surrounding threats to and intimidation of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 13 in each of the years from 1989 to 1994; and the reason the investigations carried out by gardaí have not been referred to the Fraud Squad in Harcourt Street, Dublin 2 in order to prepare a file for the Director of Public Prosecutions, in view of the serious allegations of fraud made against a leading Dublin company (details supplied) in Dublin 9 in the Circuit Court on 8 March 1994. [11937/96]

Minister for Justice (Mrs. Owen)

I dealt with the allegation of intimidation in my response of 2 May 1996, to a previous parliamentary question tabled by the Deputy in this matter. As regards the allegations of fraud, I am informed by the Garda authorities that no such complaint has been received from the person in question.
