Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 March 2017
76. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if she will confirm receipt of a file on Garda corruption handed to the Taoiseach at a location (details supplied) on 11 November 2011. [15364/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs I have already informed the Deputy on 22 February 2017 in my response to a similar question on this matter, a complaint made by the person whom the Deputy refers to in her question was referred to the Independent Review Mechanism (IRM). As the Deputy is aware, the IRM was established for the independent review of certain allegations of Garda misconduct, or inadequacies in the investigation of certain allegations.
As previously outlined, the outcome of the review in this case was that I should take no further action in relation to the complaint. I accepted that recommendation, as I have done in all of the cases referred to the IRM. The letter of notification sent to the complainant on 8 February 2016 set out the reasons for the recommendation made by the member of the IRM panel who examined the papers.
