Speaking today the Minister for Justice, Equality and Defence, Alan Shatter TD, said “Following on from the issue raised in the Dáil last week by Deputy Mattie McGrath, the Secretary General of the Department of Justice and Equality asked the Garda Commissioner to ascertain whether there was a garda report on the matter.

“The Commissioner has confirmed that he caused enquiries to be made by local Garda management as to whether or not a report of the incident was made at the time. He is informed that no such report was generated by the Garda member involved and a further local search of the garda computer system has failed to locate any such report.”
