I wish to acknowledge the disgusting and shocking video circulating on social media. The image of a young person crawling, having been beaten up, is just horrific. While a motive may still have to be established - although I think Senator Hoey is correct in that regard - and that is a matter for the Garda and school authorities, it is horrific that someone egged this on, filmed it and then put it up on social media. We need to have statements on that and discuss the use of social media and what more the Seanad and Legislature can do to protect young people. I know we have hate crime legislation coming through.

Yesterday marked 49 years since the Dublin and Monaghan bombings. On that day, 33 people and an unborn child - one woman was nine months pregnant - were killed and 258 people were injured. One of those injured was a very close friend of mine who suffered hearing loss as a consequence. It is now 49 years since that day. People have since died who were clamouring for truth and justice for relatives killed on that day. They still do not have it. We still do not have clarity on what occurred. I will respect the House and not release the information I have. However, information as to who was behind it and supported it is well known, yet the families have never had truth and justice. That warrants statements in the House. The Minister for Justice, Deputy Harris, issued a press release today and called for same. We need to hear about it because this is a long-running sore and source of pain to the families in question. I want to particularly remember the entire O'Brien family who were wiped out on that day. John O'Brien was 24, Anne O'Brien was 22, Jacqueline O'Brien was 16 and a half months and Anne Marie O'Brien was four and a half months. Truth and justice have never been heard for them and all the other people who were killed and injured on that day.

I will not take long as I have only one question of the Department of Justice. Where is the Department? Where is its statement on what took place on Sunday on the streets of Dublin when homeless refugees' tents were burned? This used to happen years ago to members of my community. Back then, I never saw Fine Gael or Fianna Fáil come out and support the community. I know the Taoiseach made a statement but I am looking for leadership from the Department of Justice. I understand the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth has a lot to deal with at the moment. In my opinion, there is no support. Looking in from the outside, I do not see what support the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth is getting from the Department of Justice. It is really about showing solidarity and compassion for people. The overall responsibility, whether the Government likes it or not, lies with the Department of Justice. I would like to hear a statement from the Minister and the Department of Justice on what happened last Sunday on our streets. It is not good enough to have one Government Minister say there are enough gardaí on our streets and another Minister say there are not. These are people's lives and homes. Being a member of the Traveller community, I know people who years ago lived in camps and tents. These are people's homes and property we are talking about. I am interested in hearing a statement from the Department of Justice on this matter.
