Alan Shatter (Dublin South, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

If there are lessons to be learned from the tragedy in Scotland, we will seek to learn them. I have no doubt the Scottish authorities will be publishing a report on the outcome of the crash investigation which we will be able to access.

My officials can communicate with the Scottish authorities on any issues that arise and might be relevant to us. There are no plans to acquire any additional helicopter supports for the Garda Síochána.
