Mr. Tim Dalton:

I will take that question. Both Governments have always been very helpful to us in our work. We have never had the experience of being refused when we wanted to do something or get some equipment, or anything like that. We have had significant support on that front. Nevertheless, the suggestion made by the Chairman on affording another technological opportunity is very welcome. If we wanted to do something like that, there would certainly be no resistance from the Governments.

In fact, we would get support because they have been supportive all the way through.

Anther thing I will say, in case I do not think to say it later, is that Mr. Knupfer has emphasised the amount of work that has been undertaken in the case of Columba McVeigh and all the excavations and so on that have taken place. Having said that, we would not want anybody to think that that is the end of the road insofar as we are concerned in the case of Columba McVeigh or anybody else. If we get any new credible information about Bragan Bog or about Columba McVeigh or anybody else from this point onwards, anything we have not had before, we will act on it and treat it seriously.

We are getting back to the same point. What we need is information. That is our most urgent requirement, and that is one way in which the committee can be of most assistance to us - by making it clear that information is what is needed to end what is a tragedy for the families who still have no idea as to what happened to their loved ones. Well, they know what happened but they have not had access to the remains of their loved ones. That is the primary requirement. It is very heartening to us to hear members of the committee speak about all this. Obviously, the committee has a great understanding of the suffering that has been experienced by the people concerned. That is heartening.
