I referred to the Joint Committee on Education and Science that sat during the term of the last Dáil. It invited different associations to outline their views on setting up redress committees and investigative committees. I was impressed by the number of associations that took up the invitation, particularly Right of Place and Survivors of Child Abuse. It was quite significant that we had applications from associations and organisations in Great Britain, particularly London, which addressed the committee on a number of occasions. It obviously put them at a considerable disadvantage to have to travel over and outline their views on how they felt a commission should operate. It was very interesting to note that those organisations were, by and large, very anxious to have the right to speak to a committee or commission about their experiences. Some of them were anxious that we would have a timeframe whereby decisions would be made as quickly as possible. They pointed out that many of their members were elderly and did not want a decision to be made which would be too late for their purposes. Furthermore, they did not want an adversarial process, which would involve their having to go to court. They were anxious to tell their story and have closure on this very sad chapter of Irish life.
