I propose to take Questions Nos. 161 to 163, inclusive, together.
The Deputy will appreciate that management of particular Garda investigations, including the allocation of resources, and the identification of lines of inquiry, are matters in the first instance for the Garda authorities and I have no direct role in this regard. I can, however, assure the Deputy that I am aware of the various concerns which have been raised, including the suggestions and allegations contained in a recently published on-line documentary about the case. I am advised that the Garda investigation in relation to the case referred to is ongoing and that the Serious Crime Review Team (SCRT) has recently been requested to examine this case, as a matter of priority, ensuring that all avenues of enquiry are fully explored and addressed. In this context the Deputy will appreciate that it would not be appropriate for me to make any more detailed comment on the matters referred to. I will contact the Deputy directly when further information is to hand.
