Written answers

Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 220 to 222, inclusive, together.

There is no record of the report referred to by the Deputy being received in my Department to date. However, I would be happy to have the matters raised in the report and its recommendations considered by my Department should such a report be received.
