Question 166: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the reason no arrangements have been made for the counselling and medical needs for the families of the deceased victims or the survivors of the Stardust fire disaster, despite the passing unanimously of a motion in the Dáil and a promise to the families of the deceased victims.

I can inform the Deputy that there has been ongoing contact with the Victims Committee's legal advisor with a view to identifying the level of demand for services referred to by him. As this process had yet to produce sufficient information to allow arrangements be made and so as to avoid having to intrude on the privacy of those victims or bereaved who might not welcome direct contact, a public information notice appeared in newspapers on 27 October 2009 asking those who wish to access such services through this channel to register their interest. The responses to this notice have now been compiled and arrangements for the provision of these services will be finalised in the very near future.
