I thank Deputy Broughan. No one could possibly imagine how people must feel in this regard, no matter the length of time that has passed. Closure is often very difficult.

The Deputy is quite correct that where an event has generated panic, it can be difficult to ascertain how it started and finished and the cause. One cannot say for certain what exactly happened and where responsibility lay. While we may all have drawn our own conclusions, it is very difficult to be absolutely certain. I will most definitely convey the Deputy's remarks to the Minister in the same manner in which he made his case.
