As the Deputy is aware, an abridged report of the inquiry into the operation and management of Madonna House was published in May, 1996. For legal reasons, it is not possible to publish the report in its entirety. From an examination of the records held in my Department, I understand that there was a limited circulation of the full report and this included legal representatives for the State, the then Provincial of the Sisters of Charity and the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse.

As this is a service matter it has been referred to the HSE for direct reply.
