Written Answers. - Abuse Inquiry.

  176. Ms Burton asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children when the proposed review into the inquiry process into alleged abuse at Brothers of Charity in Kilcornan, County Galway will be completed; the steps being taken to review this inquiry process; and when the report will be published. [3020/06]

  Mr. T. O’Malley: I understand from the Health Service Executive that, following a review of the inquiry process, a number of actions are being taken to expedite the report.

I further understand that additional supports have been provided to the chairperson with a view to assisting her in completing a report at the earliest possible time. The HSE has further advised me that the chairperson of the inquiry has indicated that the report is due to be completed by September 2006. The publication of the report would be a matter for the Health Service Executive.
