55. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Taoiseach if he will provide an update on the release of a report in advance of its publication (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23587/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraPrior to the consideration by the Government of the Final Report of the Commission of Investigation on Mother and Baby Homes, certain information relating to matters in the report was disclosed in a newspaper report. In that context, I requested that an investigation be carried out.
I also asked that the investigation be done in the context of a broader consideration of the arrangements in place for the management of documents for Government meetings as this bears directly on the protection of their confidentiality.
The investigation is being undertaken by a senior official in my Department and the process is ongoing. I am not in a position at present to tell the Deputy when it may be concluded.
