Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

Everyone would share Deputy Timmins's hopes for the family that it would find out exactly what happened in this tragic situation. I know that the Department of Foreign Affairs, its personnel and the Minister have been anxious since the incident occurred to obtain the fullest possible accurate information as to what exactly happened. I will convey the Deputy's comments this morning to the Department and ask it perhaps to update him as to where things are at.
