I cannot confirm the date in answer to the Deputy's question. I will pass on her comments in respect of the Bethany Home to the Minister for Justice and Equality. The matter was not approved on a number of occasions in recent years.

I am aware of that.

I do not accept the Deputy's comment that the Government is neither sympathetic nor decent in respect of the work it does here. As pointed out with regard to the Magdalen laundries, Priory Hall and many other sensitive serious issues the Government has been sympathetic and decent.

The Government has been utterly indecent to these survivors. It has been callous and heartless and the Taoiseach clearly intends to continue in this vein. It is a disgrace.
