I thank the Deputy. The redress scheme will open on 20 March. All Deputies and Senators will have received the briefing on it today and there will be further briefings with more details on 20 March.

As for the ongoing engagement with the religious orders, I have been very clear that they have a moral obligation to make a contribution in the way the State is. Sheila Nunan is engaging with these orders and she has procured some financial services support in terms of being able to undertake an analysis and an understanding of the resources that are available to these congregations in the context of making a contribution. I have always said that I was not going to give a running commentary as I do not believe that is helpful-----
