No, I am asking the Taoiseach. His Department is directly involved in these engagements, as he is himself. This is the context of my questions.

Does the Taoiseach plan to meet the hierarchy of the Church of Ireland regarding the victims of Bethany Home? Has he noted the recent discovery of a significant number of previously unknown graves of young children who went through Bethany Home? The championing of their case by Mr. Derek Leinster, a victim and survivor of Bethany Home, is asking on behalf of that cohort of victims for a full inquiry and full compensation to be provided. Will the Taoiseach accept that these victims are entitled to inclusion under the redress scheme that is already in situ?
