In relation to the mother and baby redress scheme, Deputy Kerrane spoke about the lack of uptake so far. I know it is still early in the scheme. I really welcomed that there was a debate on Philomena's law this week in Westminster which was really significant for the number of survivors living in the UK who were afraid their benefits would be impacted. That is very welcome. I also wish the best of luck to the office of the director of authorised intervention in Tuam as it starts its excavation next week and its work on dignified burial. From the Minister's Department, now we have reached the later stages of the scheme, what plans are afoot to get greater uptake of that redress scheme?
