Over 12 months have passed since the Fine Gael-Labour Party coalition Government gave this House a commitment to put in place an inquiry into the horrific sexual abuse cases that were reported in the south east. On 7 February last, the Minister replied to a parliamentary question in my name on the Devine and Resilience Ireland reports, which have yet to be published. When will we see legislation on the Grace case? I remind the House that we are not just talking about that case; we are talking about all the cases relative to the care home in question. We are still waiting for the terms of reference. Can we have a timeframe for those terms and for the publication of the two reports?
