It is matter for discussion with the Whips. First, the women concerned should have the opportunity to study the report which is very innovative and bears study and examination. In my experience of people who received redress under the previous arrangements whereby there was a single lump sum, very often the outcomes for them were not as valuable as they might have been if there had been the provision, as proposed in the Quirke report, of continuous services and financial support for the rest of their lives.
That is a valuable suggestion.
