Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 January 2017
135. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if he will make the records, reports and minutes of the meeting of 12 December 2008 which discussed the first final report of a person (details supplied) with regards to the Stardust tragedy available to the families of the victims of the tragedy; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [41516/16]
View answerI would inform the Deputy that insofar as the receipt of this report is concerned, the position is that the final report was submitted on 7 January 2009. An earlier draft of the report had been submitted on 10 December, dated 8 December, on the basis that the independent legal person who submitted it had asked to be permitted to make amendments for the purposes of correction, accuracy and clarification prior to its publication. While there was ongoing consideration of the matters arising at that time, no specific Departmental meeting took place on the date cited by the Deputy and consequently the records sought do not exist.
