Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell)

I am informed by the Garda authorities that investigations are ongoing in the cases of non nationals murdered in 2004. The Deputy will appreciate it is not the practice to indicate whether arrests have been made or to speculate as to what motives may have been involved in the killings.
