An Garda Síochána
Dail Éireann — 2023-12-12
============================================================

Thomas Pringle (IND), Donegal

With all due respect to the Minister of State, I do not believe that last part was relevant at all to the question I asked. My question was on Troubles-related incidents but the Minister of State has outlined ongoing investigations taking place now, as far as I can make out. It is important to acknowledge that Troubles-related incidents and murders have taken place that should continue to be investigated. The question is whether they are or not and whether the families are actually informed in relation to it.
A co-operation agreement is outlined in Schedule 3 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005. Has this been implemented and especially in the context of investigations of Troubles-related crimes? How are these provisions put into practice on cross-Border investigations?
