Noel Dempsey (Meath West, Fianna Fail)

I reiterate it is my understanding that apart from the separate investigations to be conducted by the Railway Accident Investigation Unit, RAIU, Irish Rail also conducted its own internal review and report in this regard. All the details and data have been passed on to the RAIU and I am sure this also will be referred to in the report. I agree with the Deputy on one point, which is there should be transparency and openness and people should know the exact position. However, people should be given the opportunity to do a thorough job in investigating before producing a report.
