I appreciate that. Will the Government ensure there is a comprehensive Dáil debate on this issue, like those held at any time abuse in other institutions came up? Members should have such a debate. Second, can the Taoiseach confirm whether the Minister for Justice and Equality has discussed this issue or case with the Minister for Justice in the Northern Ireland Executive, David Ford, because of the obvious cross-Border dimension to this matter? Third, will the Government give consideration to creating a facility to enable victims of such abuse at the hands of Sinn Féin-IRA to come forward and tell their story in confidence in order that the full story can come out?
