Bernard Allen (Cork North Central, Fine Gael)

Have extra staff been taken on and, if so, where will they be located? What connection is there between the sub-unit in the Department of Foreign Affairs and the group set up in Northern Ireland under the chairmanship of Lord Robin Eames and Mr. Denis Bradley? What is the Minister's view of the latter group and its membership? Does the Government intend to support in any way the body of people engaged in the work of looking at the legacy of the Troubles in Northern Ireland? I understand the body will report early next year.
