Finian McGrath (Dublin North Central, Independent) | Oireachtas source

My question relates to an important issue of public safety. We are great in this country at having tribunals after the event. My concern is to ensure there are adequate planning and preventative measures in place in the event of a major catastrophe in the Dublin Port tunnel. We saw yesterday the extent of the tragedy in Turkey, where a mining explosion occurred on Tuesday. I take this opportunity to convey my sympathy to all of the families concerned and the Turkish people in the aftermath of this horrific accident. Can the Minister offer an assurance that we are adequately prepared for the eventuality of some type of accident occurring in the Dublin Port tunnel?
