Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 157 and 160 together.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that an investigation file in this matter was referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions who instructed that no criminal proceedings be taken in the matter.
As I am sure the Deputy will appreciate, the Director of Public Prosecutions is independent in the performance of his functions and it is not open for me to comment or intervene in his decisions in any way.
