I am pleased that the Government is looking favourably on this request. This is a sensitive and sad topic. I hope that Dr. Shannon also looks favourably on it because it is important to the relatives and survivors.

It is my understanding that legislation would not be required if somebody is volunteering DNA. I hope the Minister can clarify where she expects there to be concerns around this. It is positive that Dr. Shannon will report back to her in eight weeks. How long after the report comes back will a decision is made?
