I just wanted to ask one or two questions. I actually have a question tabled about this tomorrow. On the domestic violence services, is there any breakdown of where exactly that is going? How will that work? The Department of Justice is supposed to be taking it all under one umbrella, which is welcome and it is good to have it in one area. The Department of Justice is probably a good fit for it. What impact will that have on the Minister’s Department? The refuges are still being funded by Tusla. Will that be the plan going forward? Is there any more information?

Out of interest, I had never seen the Magdalen fund referenced. Perhaps I just missed it before. Has there been some new interest in that? Is that partly because of all of the discussions on mother and baby institutions, redress and the Birth Information and Tracing Act? Has that brought up perhaps other things that has led people to start looking into that scheme? That is more just kind of an interest question.
