Amharc ar fhreagraThe non-statutory inquiry to inquire into the circumstances surrounding the distribution of tickets for the Rio Olympic Games and related matters commenced on 19 September 2016. The inquiry is being led by former High Court judge, Mr Justice Carroll Moran. Under the Terms of Reference for the inquiry, Judge Moran has been asked to present a report, setting out the findings and any recommendations of the inquiry, within 12 weeks of its commencement. The Judge has indicated that this timetable may be ambitious and some delay is anticipated. It would be inappropriate for me to make any further comment on matters relevant to the inquiry while it is continuing.
