The Minister may be aware I have raised this matter on a number of occasions with the previous Minister for Defence, Deputy Alan Shatter. By way of a brief reminder, on 27 April 1981, in Dyar Ntar, a village in south Lebanon, two privates in our Defence Forces, Hugh Doherty and Kevin Joyce, were killed by unknown forces at that time. The body of Private Kevin Joyce was never recovered and returned to his family. Private Hugh Doherty is from Letterkenny, in my constituency. I have met with his family and members of the Defence Forces who served that day. There is a commitment to meet with them and I ask the Minister when that will happen.
