40 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will consult with the Garda Commissioner and ensure that a structured arrangement is put in place to work continuously on the case of a person (details supplied). [5755/07]

43 Mr. Howlin asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he has discussed the case of a person (details supplied) with the Garda Commissioner with a view to having it investigated thoroughly; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5784/07]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 40 and 43 together.

41 Mr. J. O’Keeffe asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when his attention was drawn to the information received from the Austrian authorities regarding possible Irish involvement in a global child pornographic ring; the steps he has taken arising from the circumstances that are now known that the initial information from INTERPOL in August 2006 had not been followed up; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5768/07]

I am informed by the Garda authorities that a Chief Superintendent has been appointed by the Garda Commissioner to carry out a fact finding investigation into the full circumstances of the failure to react to the Interpol communication and the subsequent statement to the effect that such a document had not been received by An Garda Síochána. I am awaiting the outcome of the investigation before making any further comment.
