Will the Taoiseach raise this matter with the British Prime Minister, Mr. Tony Blair? I understand he will meet him tomorrow. It will soon be the sixth anniversary of the beginning of the investigations into the Dublin and Monaghan bombings. Will the Taoiseach take into account that to date we have not managed to obtain all the necessary information to satisfy the need for answers the families of victims have in particular and all of us have in general, given the bizarre events of that time? Given that the Barron inquiry and the Oireachtas hearings were not statutory and that the McEntee commission of investigation is examining the Garda inquiry but does not deal with collusion, is the Taoiseach still open to the need for a public tribunal of inquiry on this matter? Will he put any further questions to the British Prime Minister to bring forth the information? Will the Taoiseach tell him how far he is prepared to go to ensure we get to the bottom of this matter?
