It is urgent to get this report out as it will also reveal a large amount of recommendations for this specific company and Irish SAR and IAA, I suspect.
I do feel for the Crew and the relatives, but that is no excuse for us to enter year 4 without a final report.

The" criticism" of the crew should be fair, based upon straight facts, and carefully consider the related factors and actions/in-actions of other persons, agencies, and authorities.
They are not to be the scapegoats in this tragedy.
