I published in full on 30 October last the inspectors report into the Kiltoom railway incident in February 2001, together with Iarnród Éireanns response to the inspectors 4 recommendations.  These are available on my Departments website (www.transport.ie) and I am arranging to send copies directly to the Deputy.
