Mr. Pat Healy:
There are two processes in regard to Áras Attracta. The first is the formal investigation that is chaired by Mr. Christy Lynch who has a team with him.
Shortly after we initiated that investigation, the Garda, given that it is also carrying out investigations, asked us to pause our investigation for a period. Having got clearance from the Garda, we subsequently restarted the investigation and it is progressing very well. The expectation is that the work will be concluded by May and we will have a final report completed by July. This work is progressing.
The second process was an assurance process to look at, from a service and learning point of view, what happened. Dr. Kevin McCoy was asked to lead that investigation.
