That is a relevant question from Deputy Rabbitte. Indeed, there is an article in this morning's Irish Examiner from Ms Catherine Corless on the specific request she has made in respect of the ultimate findings of the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes. I am going to operate on the assumption she contributed to that article on the basis of information she has been provided with in respect of DNA tracing. Is the Minister confident the commission has sufficient monetary funding to complete this as quickly as possible? I know it might roll into next year in respect of finalisation of the report, as is envisaged in the interim report. However, the Minister might like to comment on that.
