Is there any scope at this late stage to give an extra allocation? As I said, there is a reduction in the Adoption Authority of Ireland's funding. With the redress scheme we would expect to see an increase based on the extra workload. Is there any scope to revisit this in order to ensure that the delays stop? The Minister has given the numbers and it is great that 1,700 people have received their information. There are thousands of people who are still waiting. Perhaps something could be done at this point to reduce the list.
