I thank the Tánaiste. The mention of time and there being too much of it almost feels as if there is a sentiment to the effect that maybe time is being wasted. That is obviously not the Tánaiste's intention, but for victims to hear we do not want too much time to go into such an inquiry is not really bringing about their priorities. It has felt to them that their concerns are not being heeded. It is encouraging to know the Tánaiste is continuing to engage with them and he will meet them again on Wednesday.

The Tánaiste referred to the inclusion of incidents of abuse like those I mentioned leading to a lengthy inquiry. I would hate to see the conclusion of such a significant inquiry, which was only really brought about because of the voices of the Women of Honour, leave out or exclude any victims. That would be a great mistake to make.
