There are a number of steps to this. I was at the commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary, which was very poignant and sad. Without question, we need to get answers for the relatives here, and it has to be done through a structured format. I met recently with Sir Iain Livingstone of Operation Denton, who took over from Mr. Jon Boucher. The publication of Operation Denton is important in this context. I hope it will shed further light on what happened on that terrible day, and in advance of and subsequent to it. I hope that will create a platform for further actions then by the two Governments in respect of the Dublin-Monaghan bombings. That is where I see it at the moment. I will obviously meet the families of the victims and engage with them in terms of how best we can move forward on this. In terms of our own State, that will include any information either the Department of Justice or An Garda Síochána have. That should, of course, be made available.
