Commissioner sets up internal inquiry into garda response

GARDA Commissioner Noel Conroy yesterday set up an internal inquiry into how the force dealt with the tragedy in Co Wexford.

Justice Minister Michael McDowell said he had requested a copy of the inquiry report, once it was completed, and said it would feed into the independent investigation.

In a statement yesterday, garda spokesman Superintendent Kevin Donohoe said the commissioner had appointed Supt Pat Mangan of Kilkenny Garda Station to carry out the fact-finding mission.
