Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael)

I will certainly speak to the Minister, Deputy Burke, in relation to this. Such is the sensitivity and importance of the issue, I want to make sure all of these matters are considered thoroughly and appropriately. I will ask the Minister to engage directly with Deputy McCormack and other Offaly TDs on this matter. We are keen to provide as much support and assistance as we can in what is a very difficult time. Based on what the Deputy has said, I feel that more work will need to be done in relation to some of the important issues he has put on the record of the House today.
