Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 10 April 2014
131. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Justice and Equality in view of the inquest in 2011 into the death of a person (details supplied) who was murdered in 1975 and in view of the autopsy information which was not produced at the trial, if he will initiate a reinvestigation of the circumstances of their murder.

Amharc ar fhreagraThe Deputy will appreciate that I do not have a role in the investigation of criminal cases or the conduct of inquests. I am, however, informed by the Garda authorities that the death of the person referred to was fully investigated by An Garda Síochána resulting in a person being charged with murder. I am further informed that following a trial at the Central Criminal Court in December 1975 the jury returned a verdict of guilty but insane.
