Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy was previously informed, the role of the State Claims Agency includes management of personal injury and property damage claims brought against certain State authorities.
I understand that the State Claims Agency is managing the claim referred to by the Deputy on behalf of An Garda Síochána.
I am informed by the State Claims Agency that it is in regular contact with the persons referred to in connection with their claim submitted in April of this year, and that it will notify them further when its investigations are complete.
I further understand from the State Claims Agency that it has additionally responded to the Deputy to update him on the progress of its investigation.
