Eamon Gilmore: I also asked the Taoiseach about the decisions and statement made by Chancellor Merkel during the week. Perhaps he might return to that.

Eamon Gilmore: The Taoiseach's response to Deputy Enda Kenny is quite incredible. It is incredible the State is not in a position to tell us how many children have died in tis care.

The HSE, which has responsibility in this area, is thumbing its nose at the Minister of State, by claiming the files will not be provided. The Taoiseach now is contemplating new legislation. Why can the Minister for...

Leaders' Questions (25 May 2010)

Eamon Gilmore: I would have thought that information on children dying in the care of the State would not take the State agency responsible months to compile. It should be at the top of the agenda. I am reminded of what the Minister of State, Deputy Andrews, stated here on 4 March when we were discussing the Tracey Fay case. He stated that he was guided by the principle that the State should act in loco...
