These children will be adults, but they will have missed their education by the time there is any recourse for them. Whoever is on the Committee of Public Accounts in 30 years will be saying, like the case of those affected by thalidomide, that it went through the process, they found a gap, they got out and those 80 children missed out on their lives. All I am asking is that we be a little more proactive and push the bounds of what is legal practice in the interests of the State.
