I am sorry, I may not have all the information to hand and will have to ask the Minister for Health to provide a more detailed answer. Only one of those matters relates to promised legislation, and that is the legislation to establish the tribunal recommended by Mr. Justice Meenan. Work on that is advanced. It is one of only six Bills that we have prioritised for this session and we intend to get it done before the summer recess if we can, ideally by June, and I think we can. There have been some concerns expressed by the Judiciary about it but we think they can be resolved and we are keen to have that legislation done to give women an alternative to court to have their cases heard.

On the ex gratiascheme, my recollection is that we have approved that at Cabinet already and obviously it is open to anyone who avails of that ex gratiascheme to spend the money they receive from it as they wish. That scheme relates specifically to the issue of non-disclosure, as opposed to the wider issues.
