What happened to Ashling Murphy in Offaly was shocking. I know how difficult this continues to be for her family and indeed for the wider community. I want to speak more generally to say that the removal of criminals and those who are a danger to public safety is always a priority for the Minister for justice. In the free movement regulations of 2015, there is a mechanism through which that can occur. There is a particular threshold and bar which is set for the utilisation of that directive. That is co-ordinated by An Garda Síochána working with the Irish Prison Service relating to any individual.
