It is terrible to be asked to choose between the three issues referred to by the Chairman. The special report on the redress schemes is very important work, which is also highly topical given the turn of events around the Tuam mother and baby home and the need to re-examine the issue of mother and baby homes. Not only is this work very important, but it could also be very useful in dovetailing with other things that need to be done. That is not to argue against dealing with direct provision or Bord na gCon. There are only so many weeks in the year.
