I assure the Deputy that we will continue to raise these long-standing cases, including the Dublin and Monaghan bombings, with the British Government. The Stormont House agreement provides for new ways to investigate the past and facilitate information recovery and for victims and survivors to share their experiences. The Government continues to prioritise the implementation of the agreement, not least because those who suffered the loss of a loved one, or were themselves victims of violence during the Troubles, deserve the best means possible of dealing with the legacy of the past. In that regard, they continue to have the total support and commitment of the Government. I undertake to convey what Deputy Smith has said today to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade. I will make sure the Minister is aware of it, if he is not already.
