It does not matter if the Department had 1 million or 500,000 documents. The Department decided that it did not believe that it should sufficiently prioritise these issues and provide sufficient staffing and other resources to meet the Laffoy commission's deadlines on these matters. I am reluctant to believe that people in the Department of Education and Science decided deliberately not to make this information available; I do not believe that. However, I believe they decided deliberately on the priorities in the organisation and the Minister of the time has a culpability here. This matter had to fit into the priorities and budgets of the Department along with other competing demands. The sort of issue we are dealing with here is so unspeakably cruel and reflects so negatively on our society that the Minister of a properly run Department should not have come to that conclusion.
