I have a supplementary question, if that is okay. It will be a quick one.
I welcome that the Minister mentioned that provision will be made but I want to know who is responsible for notifying the Garda or the coroner of potential criminal activity in the past where a loved one died.
Is it the agency or the Department? Who picks up the phone to the coroner or the Garda and says there is a potential that criminal activity happened in mother and baby homes in the past? Who makes that phone call?
