Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

It is not possible to anticipate that at this stage. The Minister of State with responsibility for children is working with various Departments arising out of the report, the proposed wording that emanated from it and the good work done by all concerned. Considerable work and consideration must be given to that now to make sure issues are covered and handled properly and also dealt with by the Attorney General. The Government will have to await the outcome.
