I imagine the Minister will have the full support of the House for an all-inclusive approach. I hope the recognition that in effect a network existed whereby people went from homes into these institutions is taken into account, because we cannot cherry-pick victims. I am mindful of that many of the survivors have prepared a complaint for the United Nations Committee Against Torture. As the Minister said, the age profile is not improving. Their requests should be acceded to as smoothly as possible. Can the Minister indicate whether we will see it this side of the Dáil term? Can we expect to get the terms of reference? The Minister has indicated to survivors that it might take three years. When are we likely to see it being kicked-off?
