That was a comment as distinct from a question to the Taoiseach.

It is not for me to comment on the nightclub, but I am interested in the comments made by the Minister for Justice and Equality. I also note the comments of the proprietor that these matters will be addressed. They were more than surprised at the numbers of people who showed up at that time on that night.
