I thank the Minister for her response. I met a gentleman during the week who was part of the mother and baby homes. He got the opportunity to attend counselling. He called to thank me. I do know what the Minister has said is starting to filter down. People are appreciating that. It was the first time he felt he was going to have the chance to speak to somebody - he is nearly 70 - and express what had happened to him, and that somebody somewhere was prepared to listen.

I know about the reports available today. People are looking forward to seeing that we are still on the pathway to a resolution somewhere along the way. That is all.
