The investigation of railway accidents is a matter for the Railway Accident Investigation Unit (RAIU) of the Railway Safety Commission and I have no role in relation thereto. I understand that the accident referred to by the Deputy is currently being investigated by the RAIU and that the report of the investigation will be published, in accordance with Section 15 (as amended) of the Railway Safety Act, not later than 12 months (i.e. 28th February 2009) after the date of the accident.
