Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I appreciate that advance notice of the issue to be raised is not given on Leaders' Questions. If I had received advance notice of this issue, I would have prepared a response on it. My sympathies are with the families and individuals who have been burned in this escapade. If Deputy Higgins gives me details of the cases he has raised, I will arrange to have the issue examined by my Government colleagues and give the Deputy a full response thereafter.
