I understand that the primary recommendation of the Final Report that a Commission of Investigation be established to investigate aspects of the State's handling of the murder of Mr Seamus Ludlow are under consideration by the Department of the Taoiseach.
In accordance with several of the other recommendations, the Garda Commissioner has established a review of the murder investigation under a Garda Superintendent, with appropriate staff, who reports to the Assistant Commissioner, National Support Services. I am informed that this review, which has regard to the relevant Northern Ireland authorities, is ongoing.
The proposed Coroners Bill is currently being drafted and is expected to be published later this year. As recommended in the Final Report, the proposed Bill will make provision, for the first time, for a formal notice period of a coroner's inquest to next of kin.
Finally, in respect of the remaining recommendations of the Final Report, these are under consideration, in consultation with the Garda authorities.
