Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

In a letter to Minister O'Donovan and me, dated 31 March 2017, Judge Moran asked for an extension of time to Friday, 19 May 2017, for the presentation of his Report. This request has been granted.

Once the Report has been presented, it will require careful consideration prior to its publication. Minister O'Donovan and I would be happy to meet with the Joint Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport to discuss the Report following its publication.
