That is a great question. The Deputy started by referring to the records showing that the numbers do not add up. The most comprehensive record and analysis of the records will be the commission's report on the burials and we will get that pretty soon. We have many others to be grateful to in regard to the records, not least some of our journalists. What the records show will be part of that report. As a result of that report, the commission will make some finding and some recommendations probably but it has not conducted any geophysical work on that site. I am not privy to why it has made that decision or even if it might change before the report comes out but I suspect not. Should there be evidence in the records that it offers and more work needs to be done in that regard, I am the one who got the decision on Tuam.
