Ms Louise Loughlin:

We have a statutory timeline under the Act, which is to furnish the Minister with a copy of the report by 30 June. It was presented to the Minister on Friday of last week. That is how tight this is. It must then be laid before the Oireachtas and published thereafter. That is all in motion. It is probably more that the timing of this is slightly out of kilter with our own schedule rather than the other way round. It is not any attempt to delay furnishing it to the committee. It is just that this is what is laid down in our legislation.
