Proinsias De Rossa
Question:40 Proinsias De Rossa asked the Minister for the Marine if he will publish the Kirwan report into the deaths of four fishery officers at Ballycotton, County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Written Answers. - Kirwan Report.
The report of the forthcoming formal investigation will be published in full for the information of the general public and the interested parties. I have decided that it would be entirely improper of me to publish Captain Kirwan's report having regard in particular to the basis on which some of the evidence used in the report was collected. However, I trust that the forthcoming formal investigation will alleviate any public disquiet there may be in relation to this matter.
