Mr. Seán Whelan:

We see a lot of parallels between the reinterment of the Mountjoy Ten and the reinterment of the five Invincibles. When we say that getting the Department of the Taoiseach involved with it can make it happen, we do so because that is exactly what happened with the Mountjoy Ten. There were years of campaigning and going back and forth between different Departments, but as soon as the Department of the Taoiseach got involved and gave the instructions to get this done, it got done very quickly.
