Question 300: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, further to Question No. 110 of 12 April 2005, if he will publish the full contents of the final report on the reinvestigation into the assassination of Eddie Fullerton once the requisite information and co-operation has been received from the British authorities and the PSNI; if he will publish the interim findings if such information and co-operation has not been forthcoming after a reasonable interval; and if so, his views on the length of time which is a reasonable interval for the provision of same.

I do not intend to publish the Garda reports, whether interim or final, into the review of all matters of concern raised by the Fullerton family and their solicitors into the murder and the ensuing investigations. However, as I stated in my reply to Questions Nos. 83, 101, 106, 109, 110, 757, 758, 759, 760 and 761 of 12 April last, when all outstanding matters are clarified by the Garda Síochána upon the receipt of responses from the British and Northern Ireland authorities, I will contact the Fullerton family's solicitors with a full response to their concerns.

As I have no reason to believe, nor have I received any indication, that either the British and Northern Ireland authorities have failed or will fail to co-operate with the requests made of them, the question of setting a time limit does not arise.
