Will I have to put another question down to find out or will the Minister convey the findings of the inquiry to us when they are available? Also there are a number of disturbing factors in relation to the child who died from meningitis; it could have been meningitis following brutal treatment while in custody. There was a charge that the child was wrongfully held but, most important of all, would the Minister in this year of the child do something to see that minors are not taken into custody by the Gardaí and questioned without some adult, either a parent or someone who would act in loco parentis, in order to see that they are not frightened or, bluntly, brutalised as has been suggested takes place on some occasions? I have heard indeed of children of ten and 12 years of age having their fingerprints taken. Will the Minister, in the circumstances, now devise a system of judges' rules in order to protect children in custody?

First of all, I said on 21 November last and again today that an internal inquiry is taking place. There are reasons why the internal inquiry is taking place and when the findings of that inquiry are available I will be in a position to take whatever action is necessary. I assure the Deputy that he will not have to put down a further parliamentary question. As soon as I have information from the inquiry I will communicate with the Deputy on it.
