As I have indicated on a number of occasions, I will be happy to meet with the Stardust Victims Committee in the event that new evidence arises which could form the basis of a productive discussion. With this in mind, my Department has forwarded a copy of the recent "Prime Time" programme to the forensic science laboratory for evaluation and a report on its content is in preparation. No further submission has been received by my Department since that programme was broadcast. As the Deputy will be aware, a previous submission from the Stardust Victims Committee was evaluated by the Forensic Science Laboratory and the Garda Síochána in 2004 but was not found to warrant a revisiting of the original inquiry.
