The Deputy makes a fair point. My Department has a network of people it communicates with on all issues to do with the mother and baby homes commission of investigation, and we will use that network. However, the Deputy is correct that we will need a clear communications approach as regards the publication of this report. I remember when the Saville inquiry in London published its final decision on Bloody Sunday that the relatives were all present and were given copies of the report. I remember them waving them out the windows of the Houses of Parliament. That was done in a way that was respectful to relatives. I take on board the Deputy's point on the importance of communicating with survivors and getting the report to them quickly in a way that is respectful.
