The farm in question was the subject of an intensive inter-agency investigation that commenced in 2004 and following which a draft report was produced in June 2006. The draft report has been the subject of further discussions and is expected to be finalised shortly.

As part of the investigation, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which is an agency under the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, produced a series of reports which I am arranging to have made available to the Deputy.

As the Deputy will be aware, a second, separate comprehensive investigation relating to this farm commenced late last year and is continuing.
