To address Deputy Kelleher's issue, I agree 100% with his sentiment. HETAC has been formally asked to examine and address this issue and to come back with a report and give us a standard qualification that people must meet. This is what everybody in the room is concerned about.

With regard to Deputy Dowds's question, I do not think his request is in my gift. It would require a legal change and I would have to speak to the Minister for Justice and Equality and the Office of the Attorney General on whether it is possible.
