Ms Derville Rowland:

If there is to be a public inquiry, I am sure it will delve into that. Some of this is a question of science and the extent to which construction materials are tested. I am sure that is a new issue that would be examined. However, this is an exceptional case. I acknowledge that I do not have a perfect answer for the Deputy, but that is realistic because it also required an exceptional response by the State to deal with this novel and unforeseen event.
