Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 March 2018
390. Deputy Maurice Quinlivan asked the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation if she has engaged or had correspondence with a person (details supplied) in her preparation of her report into the investigative failures in relation to an investigation; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [12046/18]
View answerAn account of the investigative failures identified by Judge Aylmer is currently being finalised. The purpose of publishing this account is to understand the factors that led to such mistakes being made and to take appropriate steps to address these shortcomings.
Earlier this month, Judge Aylmer granted approval to publish some of the transcripts of the trial, limited to the rulings of the Court concerning investigative failures made on specific dates. The account is now being finalised on this basis.
As the account has not yet been finalised, it would not be appropriate to comment on engagement or correspondence with any persons in the preparation of the report until the report is published.
