Helen McEntee (Meath East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I appreciate that this has gone on longer than anybody would like. We are on track to have this done by autumn. The report will be published in time. The reason we had to move it back to officials within the Department is because of the changes that had to take place. The independent person who had been appointed was not finishing it. There was then a tender set out to look at other potential options, none of which were satisfactory, so my Department has taken it on to make sure it is completed. A huge body of the work had been done. I assure the Deputy that the work is still on track and that the review will be published.
