On that point, it is the case that health professionals have recommended she should be in hospital and I ask the Tánaiste to take up that question. He might examine the information on the existence of that royal pardon as stated by the Pat Finucane Centre, which is highly reputable and does not have any agenda or axe to grind. Seemingly, nobody can put their hands on that pardon and assertions are being made about it without the actual document existing, so the evidential basis of her detention is under serious question and those questions have not been answered.
