I am committed to publishing this Report. Given the scope of the Commission's work a number of issues in the Report extend beyond the remit of my Department and it has been necessary to consult with Cabinet colleagues and the Attorney General on these matters.

I am sensitive to the concerns of former residents and their expectations for an early publication date. I hope to conclude this process as quickly as possible.
