Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I do not have the authority to instruct that Government to supply information in other files. I am sure the Deputy raised the matter when he was in the Department of Foreign Affairs.

I would like to think, as I gave an undertaking to the House, that we will continue to work in this area. The Tánaiste met the Justice for the Forgotten group and explored this issue in some detail. As a Government, we will continue to work with the British Government to see if there is other, further information that might and should be made available. In that context we discussed several cases but did not get around to discussing the Nelson case, the subject of a report just issued.
