Stephen Donnelly (Wicklow, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy for her words. We launched the inquiry this morning. These families have fought for many years to get the truth. They will now get the truth. We have appointed the independent chair. She will be an excellent chair and will bring a robust set of skills and experiences to this. First and foremost, the inquiry will put the voices and experiences of the families - the mums, dads, sons and daughters, boys and girls - front and centre. We will get an official timeline and we will look at the resources the inquiry has. This may very well be the first step as we move on and make sure that people get all the answers and supports they need.
