Michael McGrath (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank Deputy Ellis. We are all absolutely horrified by what happened in Limerick and our hearts go out to the family of the victim. The Minister, Deputy Humphreys, is awaiting a report and expects to receive it very shortly. I anticipate it will be received in the coming weeks and the Government will make a prompt decision on the back of it. In advance of that, we are looking at the legal options and what role primary or perhaps secondary legislation might play in that regard. The specific issue the Deputy has raised will be considered as part of a Government decision which will be recommended by the Minister, Deputy Humphreys.
