I thank the Minister. When this report is published, it will have huge consequences for former residents of these homes and their families. The report points out the types of abuse that the former residents have suffered in these institutions and the consequences it has had for many of those concerned. How to help them through the difficult times is the big thing at this stage.

The Minister pointed out the five requests that were identified. How far along are the arrangements that would meet the requests contained in the report? There are massive consequences coming down the road for the survivors and they need all the help they can get at this stage. How far along is the Minister in terms of addressing that?
