Following up on the issue of the Revised Estimates, I am getting worried that we are half way through the year and have not seen them. In tandem with the Revised Estimate Volume, will we have a revised stability programme update, SPU, as we are required to have under the Stability and Growth Pact? When will the revised SPU be prepared and submitted to the European Commission and will there be an alteration in the expenditure benchmark from the one that was set out in the April SPU that was submitted to and endorsed by the Commission?

Will the Tánaiste join me in calling on the then leadership of the IRA who directed the 1974 Birmingham bombing campaign to co-operate with the inquest that was opened yesterday by the Birmingham coroner?

The Deputy should ask him himself.

Will the Tánaiste add her voice to that of Ms Julie Hambleton, whose sister Maxine was murdered in the bombings? Yesterday, she stated that those who had any level of humanity or moral compass should come forward. Would this not be the collective will of the House?

Let me address the question of the Birmingham bombings first. Obviously, there is an ongoing legal process in another jurisdiction. As Deputies will be aware, the senior coroner has ruled to resume the inquest into the bombings. This is a matter of the most serious and utmost concern for the families of the people killed in the Birmingham bombings in 1974. The reports on the Birmingham pub bombings remind us of the appalling violence inflicted during the Troubles, not just in Northern Ireland. As we heard yesterday, the pain and hurt of the victims' families and the survivors continues to this day. I understand the sentiment behind Deputy Brendan Howlin's comments. We make clear in the new programme for Government our commitment as a co-guarantor of the Good Friday Agreement to building on the substantial progress that has already been made and supporting the consolidation of peace in Northern Ireland so as to ensure we never return to the days of violence.

I am aware of the media reports that new information was submitted to the senior coroner during the process of considering whether to resume the Birmingham pub bombings inquest. She has decided to resume the inquest. It is not appropriate for me to comment further on that ongoing process, as it relates to another jurisdiction.

But we should call on people with information to come forward.

Of course. I understand the Deputy's call.

The former director of intelligence was on the news on RTE last night. It was extraordinary to watch.

We are not getting into a debate on this issue.

I understand the sentiment behind what Deputy Brendan Howlin stated. Every Deputy in the House would support it.

The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform will address the issues that Deputy Brendan Howlin raised about the Estimates process. There will be ample opportunity in the House, although the business committee must agree the exact process to be followed in the near future. Yesterday, the Cabinet discussed the report that was due. It will be-----

Will there be an altered SPU?

That remains to be seen. I am sure that the Ministers for Public Expenditure and Reform and Finance will address that issue in the context of the Revised Estimates.
