I welcome Croom Active Retirement Association. It was a mystery tour they were on today. My mother-in-law is on it, so I am in big trouble because I never let her know where she was going. It just goes to show I can keep a secret.

I might get a pass for this one. Well done to Croom Active Retirement Association. Among all the women who are here today, and there are over 30 of them, there is only one man. He is outnumbered, so he is a brave man. I welcome them and hope they have a fantastic tour. We are here to talk about Kenova. We are here to talk about atrocities through our history, where collusion and cover-ups have caused devastation to families. What we have to do now is make sure there is accountability. In addition to accountability, families want full disclosure. No matter how horrific it is they want full disclosure now. They also want accountability from the people for when the collusion went on. We have seen that through collusion there were assassinations of people. It has gone on long enough now. People and families want full closure for their own families. They want to see the hypocrisy of cover-ups stop. We have seen cover-ups here in Ireland that went on for years upon years and how soul-destroying it is for people. Eventually, after tribunal after tribunal, things come out and people put up their hands and say sorry. This has gone on over 50 years now and this is still going around in circles. I ask that the Irish and British Governments please give full disclosure. Full accountability is needed to make sure the remaining families get full disclosure. It would mean they could get closure, knowing that people did not die in vain. That is what it comes down to now. I ask the Minister to do whatever he can within his own strengths and powers, as well as the Government. We want closure for these people but to get closure, we need full disclosure for all the families.
