Could the Minister confirm that the review will be in 2026, within six months of the second anniversary? The review will look at the operation of the scheme, but I presume it would not include the possibility of extending it even if there is money there to do that. I believe that is the case. I do not think anyone could say there is not money to do it. Will the Minister consider extending the scheme if he is in his current position when the review is undertaken? As part of the review, will he also consider looking at the four institutions that were left out and the others that have been excluded? It has been stated that Temple Hill does not qualify for supports, redress or recognition because it was a hospital, yet babies were adopted and paid for on foot of newspaper advertisements. Many children went to America. I do not understand how such an institution is considered a hospital. I have never heard of a hospital that does that. If the Minister is in office, will he consider that as part of the review?
