My understanding is that the McCabe family will not participate in a commission of investigation, which is why Government decided that there should be a tribunal of inquiry. I would like to think that we could get this set up this week. Believe me, it will not be an issue of drafting terms of reference behind closed doors. People will have plenty of opportunity to say what they think should be in those terms of reference. This is a major decision but it needs to be got right in the interests of a comprehensive response.

Deputy Adams made the point about the questions. They are interconnected to the tribunal of inquiry. There are certainly elements to those questions that I read that I think can and will be answered. However, when he makes the point about the tribunal of inquiry, I want to make it very clear to Deputy Adams that one cannot show favouritism to any person in the drafting of the terms of reference.
