Minister of State at the Department of Transport

The Clinchmaritime Report relates to the optimal structure for marine accident investigation in Ireland. It is still the subject of an engagement with the Office of the Attorney General on certain aspects therein. Advice has now been received from the Office and is currently being considered.

Once this engagement has concluded, a decision will be made regarding publication.
