I wish to ask the Tánaiste a number of questions. Under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement and the agreement reached at St. Andrew's, the British Government announced an upfront payment of £50 billion sterling over ten years if the parties in Northern Ireland agree to have the Assembly restored. When is it envisaged the Irish Government will make a similar announcement in respect of what moneys the Government promised in principle will be put upfront?

Yesterday, charges against six men of unlawful carnal knowledge of young girls were dropped and other charges of sexual assault were brought against them. Under the terms of the committee examining legislation since the summer, will the Tánaiste tell the House how many similar cases are in the system?
