Amharc ar fhreagraI am on record of this House as encouraging any person with information which may be relevant to the investigation to contact the Commission directly. All relevant information is on the Commission's website and can be accessed at www.mbhcoi.ie.

The Deputy may wish to note that my Department has also made arrangements to inform these interested parties of significant events regarding the Commission.
