Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 May 2016
128. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality further to a television programme (details supplied) regarding the miscarriages of justice in the Sallins mail train robbery case, her plans to review the alleged behaviour of members of An Garda Síochána.

Amharc ar fhreagra129. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the number, date and results of reviews that were instigated as a result of the Sallins mail train robbery in view of a recent television programme (details supplied) regarding alleged miscarriages of justice. [10258/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 128 and 129 together.
The Deputy will be aware that this case relates to an offence that was committed over 40 years ago. The events in question culminated in a pardon for a particular individual in 1992. I am not aware of any matter of public interest which would necessitate reopening these matters.
Furthermore the specific information sought by the Deputy is not readily available and could only be obtained by the disproportionate expenditure of time and resources relative to the information sought.
