Mr. Seán Whelan:

The opposition does not seem to be there other than a lack of will to get something done. There is no real argument that I am aware of that has come up to say it would be wrong to do this. The argument is that there is quicklime and it would be too difficult to find them. Kilmainham Gaol is a museum but it does not acknowledge them anymore in their tours. These are the arguments that are coming up. I am not aware of any arguments being brought up to say it would be wrong to do this. The arguments are that it is impossible to do it, there is this problem with it, it is going to take time, it is within the remit of someone else's office and so on.
