I refer the Deputy to my answer to Dáil Question No: 62 taken on Wednesday 24 March 2010 (copy Attached) concerning the position on the investigation into the collapse of the Malahide Viaduct and the report by Irish Rail.

With regard the final part of the Deputy's question concerning the Railway Safety Commission, I reiterate that until the statutory investigation by the Railway Accident Investigation Unit is complete it would not be appropriate for me to make any comment concerning any actions required as a result.
