Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 May 2017
558. Deputy Imelda Munster asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport when he expects the inquiry into the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games ticketing scandal to publish its findings; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23215/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraOn 21 March 2017, the Moran Inquiry's solicitor contacted my officials to say that Judge Moran's Report into the circumstances and facts concerning ticketing at the Rio Olympic Games would be circulated to certain parties on 31 March 2017. Those parties would be afforded three weeks to respond, and the Judge would then require time to consider these responses. As a consequence, Judge Moran wrote to Minister O'Donovan and I to request an extension of the deadline for presentation of his Report to 19 May 2017. This extension was granted.
Once the Report has been presented, it will require careful consideration prior to its publication and I am therefore not yet in a position to indicate a publication date.
