The Taoiseach committed last year, in questions since, and as recently as 14 December 2006 to my colleague, Deputy Broughan, that his response to the relatives after all these years was imminent. They had expected that response before Christmas. There has been no response. I understand there was subsequent contact between the Taoiseach's office and lawyers on behalf of the victims' relatives and that, as a result, they understood he was about to forward to them terms of reference for an independent, external examination. Those terms of reference have not been forthcoming. I do not know what is the hold-up nor do I know what kind of inquiry is proposed. Will the Taoiseach indicate what kind of inquiry is proposed?
