I had spoken before the debate adjourned yesterday to amendment No. 19 in my name which proposed a review of the legislation to check its accuracy in delivering on Mr. Justice Quirke's recommendations. I have suggested a mechanism for such a review.

Yesterday, when I asked the Minister to look favourably on the amendment, I was making the point that it would not prove a costly or very time-consuming exercise. In the interests of everybody concerned, not least the survivors and their advocacy groups, it would be a very useful exercise and I urge the Minister to consider the amendment favourably.
