Martin Heydon (FG), Kildare South

I understand the historical nature of the issue and respect the fact that the Deputy is raising it almost 24 years since the outbreak in 2001, which had a dreadful impact on the whole country but particularly on the Cooley area. I take on board the points the Deputy raised. The matter has an historical nature. I am aware that there were legal cases.
