I assure the Deputy there has been. I know she met the families. All the Deputies have been involved and the Minister of State went down and met with them.

Deputy Costello raised apartment defects in general. The Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage was here earlier and answered a question from Deputy Boyd Barrett on it. He says he wants to bring to Government by the end of the year options following on the report and how we propose to deal with that.

Deputy Tóibín referred to ambulance protocols. Those are clinical decisions. We have to be careful here. My understanding is that, in the absence of those decisions around ambulance protocols, we could end up with seriously ill patients being attended by doctors at a junior level who may not have the expertise needed.
