Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions
Dail Éireann — 2026-07-09
============================================================

Eoin Ó Broin (SF), Dublin Mid-West

I welcome the Minister's acceptance that the survivors and their families need compassion. However, what they need more urgently is a decision from Government. They have waited long enough and have fought far too hard to get where they are. Their ask is very clear. There is no ambiguity as to what they want. They do not want this building to go ahead. They want the State to acquire the site. They want a proper investigation and excavation of the land. Crucially, they want the site preserved as a site of national conscience. When will the Taoiseach, the Tánaiste and the Government meet the survivors to discuss these issues? When is the Government going to make a decision? Can the Minister at least tell us today that it is the Government's view that this development should not proceed and that the interests of the survivors, their families and those whose bodies may lie in this land should be put before any development, any developer or any profit? When will that meeting take place? When will a decision be made? Should the building not now proceed?
