On that, and without affecting your time, Deputy, I agree fully with you. Actually, having been there, I think we should go up again. We can consult with the families when they think it would be appropriate. We will be going up to the North at some stage. We have other items for next week's meeting but we should definitely go up because it was very enlightening, and to listen to the evidence was shocking. I could not believe what I was hearing, and people do not realise how fundamental the process is to have a complete and natural end to the inquest rather than cutting it off. Second, if there are legal and other proceedings after it, they should continue, and nobody should get immunity on any side.
