John O'Donoghue (Kerry South, Fianna Fail)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 60 and 62 together.

I received the independent report into matters relating to Bord na gCon from Mr. Tim Dalton on 5 April last. As Deputies are aware, on 1 February last I appointed Mr. Dalton, who is a former Secretary General of the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform, to carry out an investigation into issues relating to corporate management in Bord na gCon, as well as the management of positive tests for banned substances. I am considering the contents of the report in consultation with the Office of the Attorney General, following which I will consult my Cabinet colleagues before I decide on the further action that will need to be taken, including the arrangements for the publication of the report. I do not intend to make any further comment on the matter until this process has been completed.
