There will be many opportunities to debate this further in the House and, indeed, in the Seanad. As I indicated earlier, the response is not just a financial response.

There is a lot more to it than that. The biggest change we have made, in many ways, is giving people access to their birth information. In the past, they said it could not be done. With a lot of work from Government and through a lot of co-operation with advocates and the people concerned and the assistance of the previous Attorney General, we were able to change the situation to allow people to get access to their birth certificates and early life information. That is a response that should not be discounted.
