I propose to take Questions Nos. 172 and 173 together.

When Ms Anne Dunne SC presented her report on post mortem practice to me in March 2005, I was advised by the Attorney General that it could not be published for legal and natural justice reasons. Some sections of the report were released on 18 July 2006 in response to a request under the Freedom of Information Acts from Parents for Justice. However, in the light of the legal advice available to me, I have no plans to publish the full report. The 54 boxes which comprise the report and appendices are stored in Damastown, Dublin 15 at the premises of Glenbeigh Records Management, who are contracted to provide secure offsite document storage for the Department.
