It has created increased stress and distress in the community and it serves absolutely no useful purpose. I ask the Taoiseach to join me in that appeal.

Mr. Victor Stevenson, a man who campaigned long and hard on behalf of the survivors of the Bethany Home and the Westbank orphanage, has died very suddenly and he will be laid to rest tomorrow. Sadly, Victor died without having seen truth or any justice for his personal case and experiences, and there are many more like him. Is the Taoiseach agreeable to meet campaigners from Westbank orphanage and a number of the other institutions that remain outside the remit of the commission of investigation into mother and baby homes?
