I agree that the previous British Government's proposals were so unacceptable they set it back quite long way, particularly in terms of confidence of victims that things will be dealt with. Is the Taoiseach concerned that, in the middle of this, the Prime Minister in Britain seems to have taken a fairly arbitrary decision not to recompense people who were wrongly detained? There are probably several hundred of them. There is focus on one particular person who was wrongly detained in the 1970s, when internment orders were not correctly signed by a British Secretary of State, which meant the detention was illegal. The Prime Minister has taken a decision to refuse to compensate these people, in the middle of a discussion where we are trying to get to a solution to provide not only some outcome for people who require it but public confidence in the way legacy issues are dealt with.
