Addressing this question to the Minister, this is a very serious issue. He has accepted in his opening statement that there is much trauma in respect of the families involved and I do not dispute the Minister's sincerity in this. Given the seriousness of these issues, people will want to know whether the Minister did his job right and whether he informed the Taoiseach and others in government as to the seriousness of these issues. This is not about communication between his officials and, yes, that would be helpful to get that information, but when did the Minister inform the Taoiseach?
