I will return to the redress scheme that opened today for those who experienced trauma in mother and baby homes and county homes. I acknowledge that redress comes in many forms. It is not all about financial recognition but trauma also comes in many forms and the largest design flaw in this scheme is the 160-day rule. It has been correctly described as a real insult to many victims. Some 24,000 people are excluded for one reason or another from this redress scheme. I have been informed that this is perhaps the Taoiseach's last Leaders' Questions. Is that correct?
