I compliment the publication of Mr. Justice Quirke's report which in my view is a very novel approach. I refer to a similar approach taken with regard to children profoundly damaged by State-administered vaccines. The Minister's Department was given responsibility to issue compensation to those families on foot of the report. It took a number of years for that report to be published and since its publication it has gathered dust. I ask the Minister and the Minister for Health to implement this report. These are very elderly parents of profoundly disabled children. They want a public acknowledgement that their children were damaged and that provision will be made for them in the future. This matter needs to be addressed urgently.

I will speak to the Minister for Health and I will revert to the Deputy.
