The Attorney General is looking at this and, yes, it was brought to Cabinet this week. We need to assess the report and look at the potential options that are here. The Deputy is right that of the eight orders, only one came forward with something substantial. There were some other minor offers from two of them but really we need to make sure that everybody who is responsible and everybody who played a part in the horrific situations women were left in and subjected to plays their part in any type of recourse. This will take time. We need to work together. I have no doubt the Minister, Deputy Foley, will be engaging with all Members of the House, as well as Cabinet and the Government, to make sure we get this right and do the right thing for survivors but also to make sure those who are responsible provide recourse and are held accountable.
