Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government

I refer to the reply to Question No. 35 of 10 December 2015 which sets out the position in relation to this matter and remains relevant. Arrangements for the appointment of the chair of the expert panel are advancing and I expect to be in a position to announce the chairperson shortly.
