I intend to publish the redacted report of the inquiry into the tragedy which occurred in Monageer in April, 2007 in the coming days. I indicated my intention to publish as much of the Report as is possible following legal determination, and this remains my intention. The legal determination referred to is the result of a detailed process of engagement with the Office of the Attorney General and the provision by that office of legal advice on the subject of publication of the report. In advance of the report's publication, I will not be commenting on its findings out of respect for the families, who will be given time to digest the contents of the report. I will be commenting on the report on the day it is being published.
