I understand that the interdepartmental committee will be reconvened before the end of the year.  As well as my Department, membership is drawn from Departments where the remit is to provide for services for people, e.g., the Department of Health, the Department of Employment and Social Protection, the Department of Justice, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Department of Housing, Local government and Heritage.   My Department's representative has met with survivors.
