A number of years ago, three fishing vessels perished off the south coast of Ireland, namely, the Maggie B, the Honey Dew II and the Père Charles. Nine fishermen lost their lives and their bodies were never discovered. I understand that two years ago, partial remains were found at Hook Head and Helvick Head. I also understand the testing available to determine whether those partial remains belonged to any of the aforementioned nine men who were lost at sea has not been carried out. Can the Tánaiste give me a guarantee in this Chamber today that whatever tests are necessary will be carried out?
