Mr. Tony O'Brien:

Róisín wrote to me three weeks or so ago. She asked me could the report be published. I undertook to get back to her within two weeks, which I did, having ascertained that there was currently no impediment to it being published. I indicated to her last week that it would be published this week. Today is the date that has been agreed for that publication. These reports are not generally published immediately, because sometimes that gets in the way of the implementation of the recommendations. The recommendations in this report have all been implemented at this point and there was no impediment to its publication. I was happy to accede to Róisín Molloy's request for its publication and she, indeed, has thanked me for doing so.
