View answerI wish to express my sympathy to the relatives affected by this tragedy. I understand that the Marine Casualty Investigation Board (MCIB) is carrying out an investigation into the sinking of the "MFV Strath Marie".
The MCIB, in the exercise of its functions, is independent from me as Minister for Transport. Therefore, the Deputy should contact the MCIB directly (www.mcib.ie) in relation to the investigation of this tragedy.
