Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Investigations Division: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

3:55 pm

Mr. Philip Carroll:

That is a process that we have not yet refined completely. At our last steering committee meeting, we decided to have an annual report. At our next steering committee meeting we will determine what will form that annual report. This is a process that commenced in September and we are working through it. In 15 months' time, at the end of 2015, we will have a completed report. This will detail all the information we can provide publicly in respect of investigations, bearing in mind that individuals are being investigated and there is a process. We also will set out issues concerning any complaints that come to us and how they have been processed, as well as the success rates of those complaints.
