Sinn Féin fully supports the amendment. With the greatest of respect, I am not at all satisfied with what the Minister has said to date about these illegal vaccines and the responsibility or culpability of the huge pharma giant, GlaxoSmithKline. He seems to be saying something along the lines of, "Well, we are going to do something but we do not know what." We do know the facts. We do know that this giant company, alongside the institutions, is guilty. We know that. As there is no dispute around what happened at this point in time, the idea that the Minister is going to do something, at some later point, frankly is not good enough. Perhaps he will give us some detail about how exactly the Government will extract significant compensation from these drug companies.
