Further to my reply to the question referred to, the Commission submitted its Report to me on the matter on October 28 last, and I propose to publish it shortly. It may be noted however, that the Commission did not consider it appropriate to make recommendations at this time, in the absence of up-to-date data from the Central Statistics Office which is pending validation. The likely timescale for the validation of this data is not yet confirmed.

The Commission has undertaken to submit its recommendations in a supplementary report as soon as the data is validated.
