Dr. Ambrose McLoughlin:

I have 25 to 30 years experience in the public sector. While I want to thank most of the members of the committee for their engagement. I can understand that, on reflection, Deputy Fleming may want to contact me personally, and I would expect that he will. I want to make it clear that as Secretary General, I too am constrained in the same way as members of this committee are constrained. There are processes. I very much welcome the opportunity for structured and disciplined dialogue so that we can get to the core of the issues.
