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

As the Deputy will be aware, the Victims Committee has been advised that an external and independent examination of its submission is to be carried out by an eminent legal person. The arrangements for this examination are the subject of ongoing communication and will hopefully be agreed in the short term.
