As I do not want to mislead the House, I should clarify one aspect of what I said earlier. The person I mentioned who found hundreds of records in the attic approached the woman in question and told her about it. He told some agencies of the State that he had the records, but he still actually has them in his possession because no one really wanted them at the time. I want to let the Minister know that he still has them. When she has put an official body in place, I am sure he will approach it. I probably did not explain it correctly the first time. I want to let the Minister know that he still has the records in his possession. He is a good man. He has not thrown them into the public domain.
