I want to raise the issue of the report from Sheila Noonan, the negotiator, which is now in the possession of the Minister, Deputy Foley. When she was appointed almost two years ago, she was to report within six months. The report is completed and with the Minister. I have two issues that concern me. The first is the question of what the next steps will be. We need a clear outline of what is going to happen and the consequences of the negotiation that has taken such a long time. The second issue is that we are reading about sections of the report in the newspapers, albeit not all of it. Once again, we have a leak. This is the second time now that survivors have been treated with utter disrespect. Back in 2020, the Government got the report on the mother and baby homes. In January, we discussed it in the Dáil and the only people who had it were in the media. There were comments and an interview with Deputy Micheál Martin at the time on a leaked report. The exact same thing has happened again. There should be an apology. I also want to know what is going to happen now and when the survivors will get the report.

The Deputy is right. Survivors should never read that information third-hand or in the media. The Minister, Deputy Foley, shares that view. I will speak to her about what can be done to update the survivors directly and to apologise for any way in which that information has been disseminated and put into the public domain in a way that is not sensitive to the survivors and does not attach paramount importance to their needs. My understanding is that the report is due to come to Cabinet but let me seek clarity on the next steps and I will ask the Minister to come back to Deputy Connolly directly.
