Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Deputy Dermot Ahern)

My Department's database does not maintain information by reference to a generic incident description related to the cause of an injury. However, the Department is aware of three claims to date made by Gardaí under the Compensation Acts following injuries sustained while on duty during recent protests in the Belmullet area.
