 The Dáil will also desire to be associated with the expression of sincere thanks which has gone out from the Government and from our whole community to the several voluntary organisations the devoted exertions of whose members helped to confine the extent of the disaster and have mitigated the sufferings of those affected by it.As I have already informed the public, a protest has been made to the German Government.The Dáil will not expect me, at the moment, to say more on this head.
