Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 30 April 2014
624. Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he has met with a person (details supplied) to discuss the death of their baby and to discuss with them the significant number of questions that they have arising out of the Gageby report; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19616/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraWhile I have not met the person in question in my capacity as Minister, I have recently received a petition on their behalf in addition to further correspondence from their legal representative. On foot of this, I have sought a report from the Garda authorities with respect to the issues of concern. While this report is awaited, I have been assured there is currently ongoing contact between local Garda management and the person's legal representatives regarding the case. I can assure the Deputy that I fully appreciate the concerns expressed by the person in question and will respond to her after I have received and considered this report.
