I understand thalidomide survivors are meeting the Taoiseach today. This is a long-overdue meeting. It is welcome but I ask that the Tánaiste and this Government step up to the plate and give thalidomide survivors, who have fought for more than 60 years, what they deserve. They deserve an apology and statutory redress. I seek a commitment that this will happen.
