Martin Browne: In response to the petitioner Tusla has said that while HIQA does not place sanctions on Tusla, if it finds improvement must be made to service, it gets Tusla to complete a complaints plan which is followed up subsequently and inspection reports are posted on HIQA's website. I suggest we ask the petitioner for their response and go back to Tusla about the database. Did we ask about the...

Pat Buckley: This is going on a long time. It was 1992 or something when this started. I will take up to 2011, I think. The document here has 41 pages. I see the work that has gone into this. The way this family has been treated is diabolical. I will read out some quotes because it is interesting that they are still fighting in 2024. I am reading from p.11: When we met the top two officials from...

Martin Browne: Someone needs to answer for the fact that this unsafe vessel was registered as safe in the first place when it clearly was not. This family have been let down apparently every step of the way by the system because we have another situation here in which the buck seems to be passed from one to another all over Europe. As the Deputy stated, we know there are boats out there that are of the...

Martin Browne: It is crazy that everybody recognises the problems that are out there and the danger of involved but that no one seems to be prepared to move it on. As the Deputy stated at the outset, this whole family has been destroyed because of the lack of movement from anybody in this case. Is it agreed that we contact the OPLA? Agreed.
