Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources (Mr. N. Dempsey)

The matters to which the Deputy refers are the subject of independent investigations by the Garda Síochána. The investigation and all issues relating to it are matters for the Garda. I have received no report on the investigations. It would be inappropriate for me to comment further or make a statement at this time.
