----and that will obviously be published. They are set out in 11 different sections and are quite detailed. They take into account the circumstances, the actions, the purpose and the questions that so many people have asked about this matter. My understanding is that the Minister, in making his announcement, will be able to confirm that the sole person in charge of this investigation will be able to do the job quite expeditiously in respect of Grace and, hopefully, answer all of these particular questions.

As I said to the Deputy, one specific term of reference deals with the report on the review of the services in the area by Conor Dignam, SC, and allows for that to happen. Obviously, there is a process involved, as the Deputy will know, but the commission will have the capacity to expand beyond the Grace case if it considers that is warranted based on the evidence it gleans, on the facts that it has and the information that it obtains. From the Minister's point of view - and that of Grace's mother the first matter to be dealt with is that case and all those issues that were raised on so many occasions over the years.
