I thank the Minister of State for her comprehensive response to date. I know she has great feeling for the victims of the Monaghan and Dublin bombings and their ongoing journey in trying to find the truth of what happened on that fateful day. I know some of these people personally and all they strive for is the truth. Unfortunately, the British Government has been a constant roadblock in people's quest to do so. The Irish State has handed over documents to facilitate the work of this inquiry. I am disappointed we have not got to a point where a report has been published yet and I do not know whether the Minister of State is in a position to give any indication of the timeframe involved with that.

Briefly, I thank everybody who has worked so hard to try to bring a conclusion to this. Indeed, I mention Barry Lenihan from RTÉ who has done intensive work in interviewing the victims' families and the survivors of that fateful day and the work he did to allow them a platform to express how they were feeling. That was a useful piece of work and I compliment Barry Lenihan on it. I look forward to the Minister of State having any additional information she might be able to pass on to us.
