Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

Therefore, we must have a reasoned discussion in the House about what happened, get all the information, see what the situation is and take it from there. I appeal to the Government to recognise that it is not a good idea to let today pass without this being discussed in the Chamber, with the Minister of State saying what he has to say and providing us with an explanation and with whatever information he has so that we can see where to go from here.
