As the Deputy is aware, on Tuesday, 31 January 2006, I requested Mr. Tim Dalton, former Secretary General of the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform, to carry out an independent assessment into issues relating to corporate management in Bord na gCon as well as its management of positive tests for banned substances. I have asked Mr. Dalton to report back to me on these specific issues as soon as possible and his report will then be considered in my Department. It would be my wish to publish the report but as the Deputy will appreciate, I must be guided by legal advice on the propriety of doing so.
