Mr President, the government wants nothing more in relation to Miss Higgins than for her to be able to make the decisions she chooses to make in relation to whether she takes these matters forward with police, and the government will provide absolutely full cooperation in that regard, as we would have, and have, at any point of time in the past. We will continue to provide that support. In relation to the systemic issues in place, my office, consistent with what the Prime Minister has announced, has now reached out across all party lines, groupings and Independents, to arrange for discussions that I will undertake over coming days to enable us to pursue a truly multiparty, independent approach to ensure that, across this building, regardless of the political party that they may work for, an individual can have confidence in the systems and processes that are in place to support them.
