David Norris (Independent)

I wish to make a point. Senator Leyden is somebody for whom I have great respect but I wish to disassociate myself from the manner in which this matter is being followed through. This is not the manner in which I wished it to be raised. I asked for an examination because I do not believe it has been established that the death was directly as a result of the accident and emergency closure. It may have been - we do not know - but to state it baldly was not my intention. I wish to cause no hurt to anybody nor to engage in this kind of controversy.
