On Saturday, in the Tánaiste's constituency, George Nkencho will be buried and his family will, I am sure, be extraordinarily sad about this. I send our solidarity and support to the family. Given the disturbing circumstances relating to George's death at the end of last year - he was killed in his home by gardaí - does the Tánaiste accept the deep disturbance of his family and community regarding his death? Will the Tánaiste join with them in calling for an open public inquiry into the circumstances of the death of George Nkencho and in sending our solidarity and sympathy to his family when he is finally buried on Saturday?

I extend my condolences to the Nkencho family as well. I have spoken to them in person and to their solicitor. I have also been in contact with the Minister for Justice and the Garda about this matter. It is my strong view that there needs to be an independent inquiry into the death of George Nkencho. The way we do that is through the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, GSOC. I have confidence in GSOC as an independent body to carry out an investigation such as this.
