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

I want to extend once again my condolences to the people of Creeslough who, I know, are still mourning and for whom this tragedy is still very raw. What I would ask TG4 to do is perhaps to sit down with the families concerned, maybe consult with them and, having done that, make a decision as to whether or not it is going to postpone the airing of the documentary. I am reluctant, as head of Government, to tell any broadcaster what it should or should not broadcast. I do not want to get into that space, but I do hear what the families are saying and I think we all feel their pain. I ask, at the very least, that TG4 would sit down with their representatives and discuss the matter, hear their case and try to understand it.
