196.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that the investigation of certain matters arising from the report of the Moriarty Tribunal and Mahon Tribunal, referred to the Garda Commissioner, is continuing at this time. I trust the Deputy will appreciate that as this process is ongoing it would not be appropriate for me to comment further at this time.
