My Department is not preparing a report on the collapse of the Malahide viaduct, which is being investigated by the Railway Accident Investigation Unit (RAIU) in accordance with Section 58 of the Railway Safety Act 2005. This will address all matters, including safety monitoring, relevant to the incident. The RAIU is required to publish its report not later than 12 months after the date of the occurrence.
