Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

There were cases that were settled and there are cases that have not been settled and they may yet go to court. That assertion is also false.

I have been a member of three governments. More so than ever, and more so than other governments have done or governments around the world have done, we have put a huge amount of time, care and resources into putting right some of the wrongs of the past, whether it is Magdalen laundries, mother and baby institutions, mica and pyrite, or the apartment block defects. The Government does have a responsibility to do what is right and just, but it also has a responsibility to protect the taxpayer and the common good. That means balancing the future and the past.
