The length of time these investigations are taking is distressing for the family. A further court case is imminent, as the Deputy will be aware, in the Lebanese judicial system. We have a lawyer in court monitoring it, who cannot intervene on behalf of our State. The Garda Síochána investigation is advanced for the purpose of preparing a report for the coroner. It is almost complete. Two UN reports are complete. One is the earlier investigative report for UNIFIL and the other is the UN board of inquiry report. I have written to the UN Secretary General to ask his permission to share the board of inquiry report with the family. I have also asked for internal work in Defence Forces on an inquiry.
