Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I have asked my colleague, the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, to consider a request for a meeting from Justice for the Forgotten. I will check the correspondence issue.

On the question of seeing if we can get to the truth of the matter, we will support any opportunity to do so. We will continue our efforts even if we are not satisfied with the response of the British Government to date. That has been the Government's position and we will continue to do everything we can in that respect. There is no issue between us.
