That is very interesting. I will mention an issue raised by Ms Byrne which I do not know if it is expressly referred to in the general scheme, although there is the issue to deal with the records of the fund. She mentioned something about the absence of academic research in the area of community supports for people who are survivors. Is there anything the State can do to encourage academic support or research in this area? I would have thought that would have been quite important.
