I thank the Minister for that response. To avoid misunderstanding, am I to take it that he is receptive to the idea that if there were to be litigation the Government and the Department are open to looking at that if there are ramifications? I am conscious of the separation of powers and all that. We cannot anticipate what is going to happen. If we have no indication yet, we can take it there is going to be a bit of a lead-in time. What people are saying is they need that assurance. They feel they have not got the appropriate hearing, support or redress.They may be forced to go to other agencies to seek redress. Part of that could be a finding from an international body or from judicial proceedings. Either way, it could go on to be further judicial proceedings. However, the view is that there will not be a door locked tightly shut that they cannot open. As politicians, we are always receptive to directions from the courts or international bodies with which we have understandings or agreements and in circumstances where we are signatories to conventions. The Minister is not ruling out the potential, under very exceptional circumstances, that the matter might be looked at. Am I correct in saying that?
