I have a few questions. I was taken by the witnesses we had in yesterday. As a former Minister of State, I know about negotiations going backwards and forwards. What I got from the meeting was the impact these institutions had on the survivors, and not only on the survivors but on the wider families as well. I am not sure whether Deputy Clarke will agree and Deputy O'Callaghan is gone, but my sense is what they wanted was that people from the Departments would speak to them in a way that they could understand and that did not go over their heads. That is something they want from the Department in the engagement with it going forward on this legislation. In fairness, they had not got a whole lot of asks.
