They are not agreed. Today in the High Court in Belfast, families are taking the first legal challenge against the British Government's shameful amnesty legislation. It goes without saying that families should not have to take this action. They should not have to go it alone in these circumstances. The Government has now had two months to consider the legislation.

I believe the Irish Government must take up an interstate case against the British Government on this matter. Time is of the essence. Will there be statements on this matter or how does the Taoiseach propose to brief the Dáil on this important issue?
