1189. To ask the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth his views on the need to hold a public inquiry into the circumstances of the tragic death of a 14-year-old girl on 6 December 2015; if he will provide confirmation that this inquiry will happen; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I would like to sympathise with the family of the young girl who lost her life so tragically. The events leading to the tragic death of this young girl have been the subject of court proceedings leading to a settlement by the youth organisation under whose watch they occurred. The organisation in question is a voluntary organisation governed by an independent Board. It receives some of its funding from DCEDIY and raises other funding through member subscriptions and fundraising.

My officials have sought and received assurances from the organisation in question that it has made contact with the legal representatives of the family for the purpose of sharing its report on these tragic events without further delay.
