Amharc ar fhreagra197. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the obstacle which prevents him from publishing in full Chapter 20 of the Report of the Commission of Investigation into the Catholic Archdiocese of Dublin chaired by Judge Yvonne Murphy; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that Chapter 19 was published by his predecessor within days of the sentencing by the Courts of the priest who was the subject of Chapter 19; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17824/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 196 and 197 together.
I can inform the Deputy that the publication of the relevant sections of the report referred to is subject to directions of the High Court under section 38 of the Commissions of Investigation Act 2004 and that these proceedings are adjourned until 11 June. Accordingly, I am not free at present to publish the Chapter in question and the references by the Deputy to the circumstances surrounding the publication of Chapter 19 of the report are not relevant. I can also assure the Deputy that I am anxious to see the Chapter in question published as quickly as possible, subject to the requirements of the legislation.
