The comments in the exchange could not have been clearer. Justice for the Magdalenes have the experts in this area and its ten concerns are clearly outlined on this piece of paper. I put them to the Minister of State on the record of the House and, as far as I can see, he has addressed them in sequential order. It seems there is no gap between what is recommended by Mr. Justice Quirke and what is in this Bill, other pieces of legislation or schemes or schedules to be set up by the Minister. It seems as clear as day, unless we are saying that we do not believe the Minister of State. I am not prepared to take that step.
