I welcome the announcement that we are going to establish the facts. The scoping exercise would pale into irrelevance if we do not take immediate steps with the co-operation of the Garda Síochána to secure the site. If we are going to establish the truth and the facts, we could be on the edge of something incredibly serious for Irish society and for the Irish people with respect to the emergence of truth. We need to take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that the outcome of this investigation cannot be prejudiced. We need to secure the site as soon as possible. Has the Minister contacted the Garda Síochána with respect to taking action to secure the site? On the conclusion of this debate, will every action be taken by the Government to ensure that the quality of this investigation cannot be challenged by any third party or the courts?
