24 Mr. S. Ryan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he has received a response from the Chief Inspector of the Garda Inspectorate to the copy of the Barr report that he sent to them and which he told the House he expected to receive in January 2007; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6839/07]

Yesterday I received the report from the Chief Inspector of the Garda Inspectorate into the review of practices and procedures for certain types of incidents. The Report sets out a number of recommendations for dealing with such incidents. The report is being considered by my Department and I have forwarded a copy to the Garda Commissioner.
