Minister for Justice (Mrs. Owen) Nora Owen

Minister for Justice (Mrs. Owen): I propose to take Questions Nos. 12 and 39 together.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that no complaint has been made to them regarding criminal activity in relation to the sale of the Horgan's Quay site. Accordingly, no investigation has been carried out by them.

Furthermore, I understand that the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications has never made any suggestion to the effect that some criminal aspect arose in connection with sale of the site in question, or that the Garda authorities should conduct an investigation into any aspect of the matter.
