658. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality further to Parliamentary Question No: 380 if she will specifically address the issue of a meeting with the relatives of Fr. Molloy in view of the fact that their reservations are with the terms of reference for the McGinn report and thus deserve to have their concerns voiced before this assessment is completed.

As the Deputy will be aware, Mr. McGinn's terms reference relate to an examination of the report of the Serious Crime Review Team, which carried out a major review of the original investigation as well as detailed inquiries into the issues raised by and on behalf of the family concerning the investigation. My priority is to allow Mr. McGinn to complete his examination, which is now at an advanced stage. While I am conscious of the range of concerns expressed by the relatives of Father Molloy, including their call for a Commission of Investigation to be established, I think it is important that I would have the benefit of Mr. McGinn's independent assessment, including with respect to the question of any additional inquiry, before engaging further with the family on this matter.
