Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

They formed a judgment and it went to court, although fortunately not every case ends up in court. They had put in place a range of services for family needs. The case was in court. As Deputy Rabbitte said, the Tánaiste has met the family and I know that the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, Deputy Noel Dempsey, has also met them. Deputy Rabbitte asked me whether a competent person would examine the case and he also asked why nobody had called to the family since. I cannot answer the latter question but I have the list of all the needs that have been put in place, although I do not think it is necessary to put the personal details of a case on the record. I will inquire as to why nobody has called but these needs were put in place and they went through a fairly detailed report.
