What has the Minister done? Has the Taoiseach asked the Minister what he has done about this in the two years he has had it? This reminds me a wee bit of the case of Pat Finucane, about which we are concerned. I have to stress I am not drawing like with like. When it came to the point at which Pat Finucane's case should have been dealt with, the British Government brought in Judge Cory. It became a delaying tactic. The issue is still not resolved. I appeal to the Taoiseach respectfully to review the decision he has taken. I suggest that he should give this SC the power under the Commissions of Investigations Act 2004, or else listen to what is being said in here and take this matter out of the political realm by going straight into an independent inquiry under the 2004 Act. That would take the Taoiseach out of it. He has said that the SC will report back to him. He has read the dossier, so why not do what he is able to do as an acceptable way of bringing this to a conclusion?
