I do not want in any way to mislead the House. This is very important. The letter continues:

We are not seeking prosecution for simple errors or failure to foresee future threats. However, where actions, which result in death, were deliberately taken for financial gain or risks deliberately ignored to protect institutional reputation or events covered up to prevent disclosure, then there should be a remedy in criminal law.

I read the letter because it is very important. It says it all. I know that the Minister of State is committed to taking action. The sooner the Bill is progressed the better. While noting the advice about which the Minister of State cautioned, it is important that we move at speed, particularly in the light of what has happened in the past two weeks.

I thank Senator Mark Daly for his enormous work on and commitment to bringing foward this legislation.
