Yesterday, thejournal.ie published a very detailed article on an accident that happened in 1979 on the Glen of Imaal military range. On that day, three children were killed and ten other children were really badly injured. Since the publication of the report yesterday, new information has come forward as to how this accident could have been avoided. According to the article, this accident could have been easily avoided if precautions had taken place. The families of the children never got an apology from the State. Considering this new information that has come forward, would the Government consider giving the families of those who were affected and killed on the day a State apology?
