Question 680: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the reason the Morris tribunal rescinded its decision to move to Letterkenny; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10223/05]

It is strictly a matter for the tribunal itself to pursue its inquiries as it sees fit. My understanding, however, is that it was never intended to hold hearings in Letterkenny but rather it was intended to sit in Donegal town for two weeks from 4 April 2005. I can only assume that it is the decision not to do so that is the subject of the question from the Deputy. The decision not to sit in Donegal town is a matter for the tribunal.
