Mr. Bernard Gloster:

I thank the Deputy for the opportunity and recognising the sensitivity of the matter. I did say in a brief interview with RTÉ yesterday that within the current two-week period was my intention to do it. I can confirm this morning that I will be publishing the report not later than this coming Monday. I want to establish contact with the solicitor for the family later today, as I have done previously, just to give people fair opportunity and notice of that but the latest it will be published is this coming Monday. It is important in the public interest that the report is published appropriately. I am very conscious of the commentary about the report in the past couple of days. It is important that commentary is addressed and I believe the best way to address it is when the totality of the report is there. I will then be able to comment on the detail of it and explain to people regarding some of the concern being expressed about the report, which I respectfully suggest is misplaced concern. It is a very comprehensive and effective report. It is one that completely fulfilled all of its terms of reference. It is one on which, as a basis of being acted on, is being acted on now, at the present time. Obviously I cannot say a lot about that aspect but it is in the public interest and I intend to publish the report not later than Monday.
