I propose to take Questions Nos. 235 and 236 together.
I should inform the Deputies that I received representations from the person concerned in July and September of 2004. I referred the correspondence to the Garda authorities for their views. The Garda authorities stated that all matters raised were fully investigated and it was found that there was no evidence to support the claims made. In relation to the correspondence to which the Deputies now refer, I received new correspondence from the person concerned in the past week. I have sent it on to the Garda Commissioner for his observations and I will keep the deputies informed of any further developments. I do not see that any useful purpose would be served by meeting with the author of the correspondence at this point.
