I will raise the issue of the Irish Thalidomide Association. I know the Taoiseach has met with the group of thalidomide survivors who are seeking recognition from the State and have a small number of demands. I know the group is very grateful that the Taoiseach met with it last Thursday and that a process is to be established. As colleagues will be aware, I have put down a cross-party motion in collaboration with the Irish Thalidomide Association. I hope a cross-party consensus can be achieved on the type of process to be established and on securing justice for thalidomide survivors. Will the Taoiseach comment on the nature of the process to be established and on how soon we can expect to see details of it?
