I welcome the Minister of State's reply on behalf of the Minister for Education and Skills. He indicated that there is only one confirmed report of a complaint against the individual in question. I appreciate that this is not within the Minister of State's remit, but he might ask the Minister to confirm the scope of the departmental investigation. One of the cases that was brought forward related to events in 1955. Has the Department examined files from that far back to ensure there were no other complaints made against the individual in question? Whatever information is there must be brought into the open. Several of the individuals who contacted me are of the view that there might be complaints going back even further.
