The Deputy will appreciate that I have no role in relation to the detailed management of any criminal investigation and that it would not be appropriate for me to comment on the specifics of any criminal investigation or on the evidence obtained by the Gardaí in connection with any such investigation. On a general point, I would remind the Deputy that, shortly after taking up office I moved to introduce additional powers contained in the Criminal Justice Act 2011, to assist the Gardaí in obtaining information in complex investigations.
