I listened to the Minister's reply. It truly goes to the heart of this matter. Most of us will probably have met Lucia O'Farrell at some point over the last number of years. She has been a dedicated warrior to get justice for her son. The problem we have in this State is that, when a mistake is made, the initial reaction of many State agencies is to cover it up and then to cover up the cover-up. That has been the experience of a great many people. In this particular case, there is an opportunity to do the right thing. Deputy Carthy asked the Taoiseach a question on this yesterday and the Taoiseach said that the Minister for Justice was determined and anxious to publish the scoping inquiry. The Minister's hands are not tied. He should publish it and get on with this business because this family can no longer be left in the agony they have been experiencing for years and years. It is about time to do the right thing.
