Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 November 2006
173 Mr. Gregory asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will request the Garda authorities to report on the allegations contained in correspondence (details supplied); the reason no prosecution was proceeded with; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38168/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraI have received a report from the Garda Authorities in relation to the allegations made in the correspondence referred to by the Deputy and I am informed that the allegations made are the subject of an ongoing Garda investigation.
I am further informed that it is expected that an investigation file on the allegations will be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions in due course. The Deputy will be aware that it is not the practice to comment on ongoing Garda investigations, which are operational matters for the Garda authorities. I am also informed by the Garda authorities that there is no information to support the allegations made in the correspondence.
