Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael)

The secret is that the Minister has not published it so we cannot read it. Are turf wars taking place between different institutions? As I understand it, a couple of months ago the Tánaiste was about to bring it to Cabinet but it did not happen that week, and I am not sure what has happened since. I have had people telephoning me to tell me they have a copy of it on their laptop and asking whether I want to see it. I tell them I do not, and that I want the official report published.

What is the issue? Why does everybody else have the report except the Members of the Oireachtas, in particular the Opposition? Why is there a delay in this regard? Are people within third level institutions of all types objecting to this? There is no reason for delay and no reason it should not be published immediately.
