Ms Deirdre O'Keeffe:

I have to be a little careful here because there are legal issues involved. As members are aware, the Bill, which went through pre-legislative scrutiny in this committee some time ago, is scheduled to commence in the Dáil next week. As part of the pre-legislative scrutiny, the Minister offered to commission an independent review of maritime accident investigative structures in Ireland. The report has been received by the Department. It is currently subject to legal advice. Members will appreciate that I cannot comment any further at this stage.
