It has not been possible to collate the information requested by the Deputy in the time available. I will write to the Deputy directly once the information is to hand.

613. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality further to Parliamentary Question No. 892 of 17 October 2025, if he accepts that his Department received the Death in Custody Report concerned from the Office of the Inspector of Prisons in July 2025 and had three months to review the report but it still remains unpublished thereby further delaying the holding of an inquest; if his attention has been drawn to immense distress this continues to cause for family members who have waited for over three and a half years to learn all of the circumstances surrounding the death of their loved one in custody; if he will confirm the date of the publication of the report as a matter of urgency; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I would like to reiterate my condolences to the family concerned on their loss. As previously stated, I recognise the significance and sensitivity of the investigation process for loved ones, and that delays in any investigation can cause distress for families of the deceased.

I can assure the Deputy that it is my intention to publish the report concerned as soon as possible.
