Joe Higgins (Dublin West, Socialist Party)

Perhaps the Tánaiste could show the same compassion to people in a similar situation in this country and apply the same yardstick to them.

Will the Tánaiste be precise on the timetable for the publication of the Dalton report because she was not precise in this regard? I accept that those referred to in the report need time to read it and perhaps reply. I am mindful that last year the exact same thing happened to the report into the infamous Gama Construction consortium, which finished up suppressed by order of the High Court when its publication would have assisted the struggle for justice by workers.
