I propose to take Questions Nos. 257 to 259, inclusive, together.

I would refer the Deputy to my most recent response in relation to this matter, Parliamentary Question 137 on 16 October 2019.

The Deputy will appreciate that criminal investigations and other operational matters are, in accordance with the Garda Síochána Act 2005, solely a matter for the Garda Commissioner.

Likewise it is a matter for the DPP to decide, independently in the exercise of her functions, if any charges should be brought and I have no role in these matters.
