I am aware that the Minister of State's colleague at the Department of Health and Children, Deputy Brian Lenihan, had a meeting with the group today. I was not aware of that when I submitted this matter for consideration and I apologise for any misunderstanding in that regard. Now that that meeting has taken place, I would welcome information regarding the assurances or clarifications the group was given by the Minister of State, Deputy Lenihan. This is an emotional issue for families who are perhaps halfway through the process of adoption and who have, as it were, seen a wall appearing in front of them. I thank the Minister of State for his attendance and I hope his reply will bring some clarity to the situation for the families concerned.
