The position in relation to the Lost at Sea Scheme was outlined in previous replies to questions, most recently, Question No. 86 on 21 February 2006. The Department was informed by the Ombudsman in February 2006 that she has decided to proceed to a formal investigation of a complaint made to her Office by a person whose application was refused under the Scheme and that a statement of complaint would issue to the Department in due course. The Department will cooperate fully with any such investigation.
