Sympathy for murdered Belfast kidnapping victim

Summary

Harte asks what expression of sympathy Lenihan made to the family of a kidnapped Belfast victim who was murdered, and challenges the Minister over whether he would have acted if the case were in Cork. The Chair and Minister say the matter is separate from the question.

Patrick D. Harte Mr. Harte Fine Gael

When a person in Belfast who had been kidnapped about three months ago was found murdered what expression of sympathy did the Minister make to the family of that person?

What is separate about it? If the person had been kidnapped in Cork would the Minister have taken action? Is this an example of the Minister's hypocrisy?
