Question 31: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if and when he will be in a position to publish an unedited or a redacted version of the Nally Report; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9691/06]

As I outlined to Dáil Éireann in February 2004, I hope to be in a position to publish an edited version of the report in question in the future. However, as I also indicated in the Dáil, this could not be done while criminal proceedings were outstanding against the person who made the allegations which were referred to the Nally group. These proceedings remain outstanding.

It is not, nor has it ever been, my intention to publish the Nally report in an unedited or unredacted form, having regard to the fact that the report contains highly sensitive matters involving the security of the State and possible risk to the lives of individuals.
