I welcome the fact that the Minister has given a commitment to meet the family. That is a positive move and it is the right one. I am sure he will appreciate that, equally, in terms of everything that he has said about the complexities, there has already been a 30-year wait for the report. I have no doubt that he is doing all he can in this regard. Even though I take him at his word, I do not know that it is sufficient at this stage for him to simply say that he hopes to reach the point where this matter is resolved. Is he minded to call this at a particular point? What is the timescale? When will he reach a point where he can say to the family what will be done, one way or the other?
