Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 June 2013
400. Deputy John Browne asked the Minister for Justice and Equality when the report by Mr. Justice Quirke into the Magdelen Laundry will be completed; and if it will be made available to the women involved before it goes public. [29398/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraMr Justice Quirke forwarded his report to me on 30 May, 2013. I expect it will be considered by Government within the next two weeks and that the report itself and the Government's response to his recommendations can then be published.
I do not believe that it would be helpful to pre-empt the publication of the report or the consideration of the matter by the Government by going into any detail at this stage. However, I can assure the Deputy that arrangements are being put in place in my Department for the distribution of the report to each individual woman involved.
