I will give Ms Stone and Mr. Beggs the final word. On the definition of "victim", I will cite as an example somebody not from Northern Ireland but who was intimidated outside it. This person was threatened back in the 1970s, told not to go back to Northern Ireland and has still not returned. There were no physical consequences or bereavement, but the family has had this hanging over them for the best part of 40 years and probably longer. Is there a conversation happening about how to deal with the silent victims of the conflict who do not fall into any particular category? There was no single event. Ms Margaret Irwin is present.

Justice for the Forgotten lists a figure of 160 victims outside of Northern Ireland, if I am citing the contributions correctly. Do these silent victims who suffered severe intimidation and threats fall into that category?
