I said to the Deputy the communication went out the week after to community welfare officers and the communication went out to the housing sections in local authorities. That is an immediate action that was taken. On the criminal records, that has happened. The statement was issued by the Minister, Deputy O'Callaghan. That was a significant ask. I have received correspondence, and I will not name people, thanking me and saying that the apology in and of itself meant an enormous deal. I have the letter in my office if the Deputy wants to see. I would respect the privacy of the person who wrote that.
