I propose to take Questions Nos. 286 to 288, inclusive, together.

As the Deputy will be aware, the circumstances surrounding the death in question and related matters were examined in detail by a Tribunal of Inquiry over a number of years and the reports of Mr. Justice Morris are a matter of public record. Matters of disclosure were a matter for the Tribunal and I do not consider there are any grounds open to me for a re-examination of the matters in question.
