As a second point, which is perhaps for later on but which is not insignificant, contact would have to be made with everybody who has been mentioned in this report in any way. That would involve many more than the number of witnesses who came forward to give evidence. It would involve people to whom reference was made. That leaves us in a challenging position. We have been in contact with the Garda Commissioner and the Attorney General. I will meet with the family. I would have done so in recent weeks were it not for the very full schedule I have had here but I will make time for that opportunity over the summer months. I would hope to do that in a way that might progress this issue.
