The Government has charged the inter-departmental committee with clarifying any State interaction with the Magdalen institutions and producing a narrative detailing such interaction. There are presently no plans to expand its brief beyond those institutions.

I can assure the Deputy however that consideration is being given to issues related to the former Bethany Home and the appropriateness and practicality of such issues being addressed in a satisfactory manner at the present time.
