Paragraph (i) states: "the form and manner in which the information specified in the report is given, including provision for the categorisation of the different classes of regulated financial service providers identified in the report and the different classes of financial services to which the complaints by reason of which they are so identified relate ...". It is our view that the point the Deputy is making is dealt with and there is provision for this in section 70 which deals with the ombudsman's report to include information on complaints. That is an open and shut case.

With regard to the description of substantiated or partly substantiated complaints referred to by Deputies Michael McGrath and Pearse Doherty, we have brought forward amendment No. 77 to summarise the different types of complaint, as well as the different products to which they relate. Amendment Nos. 74 to 76, inclusive, are technical amendments.
