I cannot imagine why they would not pass it. Some 28 of the councils did. Maybe motions did not go in front of the councils to support it. I come back to the 92 relatives, the 28 councils and the 73 TDs and the amount of support. I propose, and Deputy Buckley might second it, that we, as a committee, write to the Taoiseach immediately, asking him to get involved. We do not want a generic letter coming back saying it is the responsibility of the Department of heritage and the OPW. We have had those excuses. We have had those responses from them.

We ask that he intervene directly and give a decision on it. After 11 years, the families deserve to know.
