As outlined in my response to the Deputy's previous questions on 21 and 28 May, I and/or officials from my Department have met with the Scoping Inquiry on a number of occasions since the Scoping Inquiry was established. These meetings were led by Dr Scally and in some instances he was accompanied by other members of his team.
