Amharc ar fhreagraThe Independent External Reviewer finalised the terms of reference of the review in November 2023. The terms of reference state that a final report will be submitted to the Commissioner at the conclusion of the Independent Review and published thereafter. Therefore, I do not expect any interim reports.
This first phase of the review is expected to be completed in April 2024, after which the timeline for completion of the review and publication of the final report will become clearer. It is essential that the recommendations and learnings from this review are adopted and fully implemented.
