I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach for raising this on the tenth anniversary. It was an absolute tragedy and an unspeakable tragedy with the loss of life and the impact on families. That impact continues, obviously. In many ways it is a byword for lack of progress on Traveller issues around accommodation and supports. As others have said, we have to continually remember what happened and use it as a reminder and motivation to try to make progress and to continue the work we are doing as a committee and the broader work that needs to be done to improve the lot of Travellers and the Traveller community. It is absolutely fitting to raise it here today. Has the Chair suggested a moment of silence? We should have one and it would be appropriate.
