My first question relates to Mr. Devas's presentation and the point he made that there can be hidden legacies with more violence still in society, including domestic violence, and mental health problems. Is this based on research? Is there any research that backs that up? I presume it is true, but it would be good to know what research has been done into it.

I am interested in the background as to why Justice for the Forgotten and the Pat Finucane Centre decided to merge. One of the issues possibly is that there are a lot of different groups. Would it be better to pool resources? What is the experience of Justice for the Forgotten and the Pat Finucane Centre in that regard?

I turn to membership and obviously the families are involved. I am not singling out any group, but is there an understanding among most people or generally that there might never be justice? What is the emphasis? Is it on the process? It is a different context, but I dealt with a particular case which had nothing to do with the Troubles where the issue in my view was closure in relation to a feeling that there had never been a proper process. Is that something of interest to the groups before us?
