Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I have two matters concerning reports, the first of which is the report of what is called an bord snip nua. When will that report be received by the Government and when will it be published? Will the House have an opportunity to consider it before we break for the summer?

I have asked before about the report of the Dublin archdiocese commission of investigation into clerical sex abuse. When is it likely to be received by the Government and published? There is an article by Patsy McGarry in The Irish Times today, which states the Government expects to receive that report in the week beginning 12 July, which of course will be after the House has gone into recess. The newspaper article that, having received the report, the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform will refer it to the Attorney General because of impending prosecutions, apparently. Is that report in The Irish Times accurate?
