I share the sentiments of the other members. I think in particular of the Connors family, the Lynch family and the family of Tara Gilbert. I read an article last week in the paper in which Ben Lynch discussed the continued pain from this tragedy and the increased sense of pain he feels as the tenth anniversary approaches.

I share the sentiment of everyone that while we should not need it, the anniversary of the Carrickmines fire should be a reminder to us all of the necessity to make sure we improve the standard of accommodation for members of the Traveller community and the particular role that we on this committee have in highlighting that. I express my sympathies to all the families.
