Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I will respond to Deputy Micheál Martin. Obviously, Damascus still functions and the root cause of this is Syria. I agree with Deputy Adams that 500 people have drowned. The intention here was to limit the numbers of people getting into the water in the first place and to deal with the people smugglers. I will respond to both Deputies in writing at their request.
