The cost of the inquiry referred to by the Deputy was €23,208.67.

The inquiry report has been forwarded within the last week to a number of persons specifically referred to in the report. In addition, the report has been provided to County Clare VEC and I have asked the VEC for its proposals in the light of the report's findings, following which I will consider what action to take.

Subsequent to this process, I will consider the matter of wider circulation of the report.
