Brian Hayes (Dublin South West, Fine Gael)

Will the Minister agree that what is important is that this matter would be brought to a conclusion very quickly on the basis that the persons who were referred to in the High Court judgment last month by Mr. Justice O'Neill are well into their 70s? Is it not right that this issue should be quickly resolved? Will the Minister in discussions with the law officer in his Department and with the Attorney General's office impress upon those law officers and upon the courts the necessity to bring this matter to a conclusion for all our sakes?
