That is good. We have to go ahead regardless of what the religious orders contribute, but it should not be a case of whether they are willing to contribute. They should be compelled to do so. If they make a contribution towards compensation, given that the Minister has allowed for this amount of compensation without a contribution from any religious order, could it potentially be extended to people who spent less than six months in an institution? There would be extra money.
