I believe there were 19 recommendations in the Sullivan report. How many of them have been implemented? What is the timescale for their full implementation?

Is the Taoiseach satisfied that a similar situation will not arise again? I thought the then Attorney General, Rory Brady, was to be informed at certain stages, which did not happen. Is the Taoiseach satisfied that will not arise again?

As the Taoiseach is aware, there were a number of cases where a statutory rape charge was made against a number of individuals. Those charges were dropped because the charge in that context was unconstitutional and another charge was put against them. What is the position regarding those persons or the charges of statutory rape, which were put against those individuals but which were not pursued in the courts because of the unconstitutionality of the charge? Does the Taoiseach have any information on that? How many of those cases are involved at the moment?
