I raise a matter discussed many times in the House, namely, the state of the fire service. I refer to the ongoing investigation into the Bray fire tragedy. There is much concern that the scope of the investigation is not wide enough and that only the fire and the building are being investigated. It is important the systems, procedures and protocols surrounding that tragedy and all fire tragedies are investigated. I call on the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to come to the House to debate the fire service and report on systems, procedures and protocols. This issue needs to be addressed.
