Yes. To return to the question about Pat Finucane, I would like if the Taoiseach will go further than simply noting the suggestions I made. If a government has an agreement with another government and the other government breaches that agreement, there is a duty on the government that is the injured party to draw upon the strengths, influence and goodwill it has to seek adjudication on the issue. Remember that in this case a lawyer, an officer of the court, who was acting in a human rights brief was killed and it is strongly suspected he was killed by agents of the British state. There is a huge duty on the Taoiseach to come forward at some point - if he does not wish to do so today, that is fair enough because this issue will continue to be raised - and give an outline of what the Government has done to get the British Government to fulfil its commitments on this matter.
