The Government is committed to playing its full part in a healing and reconciliation process with a view to bringing closure for the women concerned. When we have a full debate in the House next week, the Deputy can be assured that An Taoiseach, who has been meeting some of the women involved, will be responding to the significant issues identified in the McAleese Report in a fair and compassionate way.
