That is useful. In the few minutes we have, I want to get some sense of how we can move on many of these issues. For example, there was agreement that there should be an inquiry into the Finucane case. What will the Irish Government do with that issue? The Barron report on the Dublin and Monaghan bombings is not part of the agreement but it must be dealt with if we are to move things on.

What are we going to do to try to get the British Government to release the information? A Bill of Rights is a key component of what we are talking about. I refer to the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission in the South and the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission in the North. Part of the agreement was that there would be a synergy or a coming together in that regard. I imagine that is something about which there would not be a huge difficulty in terms of moving those two bodies together.

However, there does not seem to be any plan or we are not hearing if there is a plan or about how the Government, together with other parties, in particular the British Government, will progress those issues. It is about the nuts and bolts. Is the Minister working to a specific plan? When he meets the British Government, are these issues raised on a regular basis with it? We are not getting feedback on what the reaction is and so on.
