I received correspondence from the Commission of Investigation (certain matters relative to a disability service in the South East and related matters) ("the Farrelly Commission") on 22nd July 2020. The correspondence, in the form of an eighth interim report, included an application by the Farrelly Commission for a further time extension to allow it to complete its phase 1 work.

I have granted the Commission an interim extension to allow it to continue its work. The Minister for Disability, Anne Rabbitte, T.D. and I will meet the Farrelly Commission on 21st September 2020 to consider the its rationale for the application for this further extension in more detail. A determination on the length of the extension following this meeting.
