134. Deputy Réada Cronin asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the status of any investigations into the leak regarding the report on the mother and baby homes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45446/21]
View answerThe Secretary General of the Department of An Taoiseach is leading the investigation into this matter. As part of the process, he has been tasked with examining the broader issue of unauthorised dissemination of documentation and other information related to the work of the Cabinet and its sub-committees.
This matter continues to be pursued as the leaking of details from the Commission's report before its publication was unacceptable and added to the distress to survivors. My Department has provided input to assist the Secretary General with his investigation. Although it is not yet possible to say when the investigation will be completed, I can assure the Deputy that its outcome will be publicised.
