Deputy O'Callaghan has asked me to speak on his amendment. As the other speakers have said, the intention is to tailor the information towards what the victim can understand and how he or she can properly access it. Deputy Daly's point is well made. At the very least, there needs to be mutual agreement as to the format of the communication rather than an assumption that could undermine the victim's ability to receive information. I am interested to hear the Minister of State's response.
