I have consistently been asking the Minister questions about the all-party committee that was advising on the commemorations and she keeps giving the response that it will happen shortly and that she is waiting for nominations. The various groups were asked to make those nominations six or eight months ago, if not longer. Surely it is time to tell them that the train is leaving the station and it is fine if they want to jump on at this station at the beginning, and it is also fine if they want to join later, but they cannot hold up the entire process. They have had the chance. When will the committee meet, with or without those final nominations?
