Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

This tragic incident is under investigation by An Garda Síochána and the Marine Casualty Investigation Board. The IRCG is assisting with these investigations. While these investigations are on-going, I am not in a position to comment further on this incident other than to express my sympathy to the families in question.
