I propose to take Questions Nos. 256 and 257 together.

The Health Service Executive has informed the Department that a draft copy of the report was received by the HSE Dublin north area on the evening of Thursday 9 February 2006. It is understood from the HSE that this draft is currently being reviewed and the final report cannot be prepared until this process is completed. The HSE expects the process to be finalised by mid-April 2006. The Tánaiste, at this time, has no arrangements made to make contact with the families.
