Alan Shatter (Dublin South, Fine Gael)

We have debated in this House reports on the catastrophic systemic failures within the child care services. This is the equivalent within our justice service. At the very least, the Keegan family, who have been seriously wronged and bereaved, are entitled to have the report considered by Members of this House this week. I ask that the Minister, on behalf of the State, apologise in this House on behalf of the State to the family for the tragedy that has befallen it.
