The Taoiseach announced at the end of January that he had ordered that a review be undertaken by the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Department of Justice and Equality of the operation of US preclearance in Dublin and Shannon Airports, and work has been continuing on the review since that time. My Department agreed to collate the contributions from the three Departments, in consultation with the Office of the Attorney General. I can inform the Deputies that the report of the review is close to finalisation and is expected to be submitted to the Taoiseach's Department shortly.
