I am aware of the allegations contained in the correspondence referred to by the Deputy.
The correspondence in question was received in my Department recently and has been forwarded to the Garda Commissioner for his attention. I am informed however by the Garda authorities that these allegations were previously made to the District Officer at Belmullet in December 2011 and that enquiries conducted into the allegations found no evidence of alcohol being distributed to members of the Garda Síochána by or on behalf of the company named.
