Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy for raising the issue. The Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, is engaging with local authorities in respect of this. The 600-page report looks like a hefty one. The issue is financial.

The Taoiseach: Firstly, legacy is an important issue for all victims in Northern Ireland of the Troubles and their families who seek redress. Thereis a responsibility on all of those who carried murders on behalf othe state, those who carried murders on the behalf othe Provisional IRA and on behalf of loyalist paramilitaries; any issues of collustion should be followed through

I believe that these centres will be a significant addition. The potential is there to advance and develop them to a greater extent perhaps than before.
