Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I have a great deal of material. I was making the point that, and this is in no way to apportion blame to anybody, but the study lead for this report, when they were commissioned to do this piece of work, was asked to also carry out the familicide review following the untimely passing of Norah Gibbons. She very kindly agreed to do that and put a great amount of effort into it. I am hoping to be at a point, as I said to the Deputy earlier, of bringing the familicide review forward and acting on its recommendations. That review took the study lead's attention off the work we are discussing. They are now back fully on it. In addition, I was assured by that person when I met them that the review is near to completion. Should they wish it, I will supplement their efforts by providing secretariat assistance to finalise the review. I can also put my reply in writing to the Deputy, as requested.
