Joe Costello (Dublin Central, Labour)

We had a session for Acting Chairmen today, Ceann Comhairle, so we know our p's and q's.

Considering that there were a number of former coal miners from Ballingarry, Castlecomer and Arigna outside the Dáil today to get the Government to establish in legislation a redress scheme to which they could apply in respect of the damage done to their health by coal dust, are there any plans to establish such a scheme or introduce such legislation?
