I wish to advise the Deputy that there are no tribunals, public investigations, or commissions of investigation currently underway within my Department, or commissioned by my Department at present.

Certain units within my Department conduct investigations in line with their statutory responsibilities. Reports from these investigations are available publicly on their websites as follows:

  • Air Accident Investigation Unit: www.aaiu.ie/
  • Rail Accident Investigation Unit: www.raiu.ie/
Investigations into marine casualties are carried out by the Marine Casualties Investigations Board (MCIB) which is an independent body, which may provide recommendations to the Minister for Transport in relation to improving safety of life at sea. There are no investigations directed by the Minister in relation to marine casualties. Details of investigations conducted by the MCIB can be found on their website: www.mcib.ie/
