Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 132 to 134, inclusive, together.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that the examination surrounding the circumstances of the death of Father Niall Molloy is ongoing. The Commissioner has assured me that each and every line of inquiry is being or will be pursued. Upon receipt of a final report from the Commissioner I will review the situation.
I understand that a number of issues arising out of the theft of the files referred to by the Deputy are being examined by the Garda authorities as part of the above examination and will form part of the final report. In the circumstances, it would not be appropriate to make any further comment at this stage.
