Mr. Brian Purcell:

What I am saying is we do not have any plans at the moment to do that. When the legislation is enacted and rolled out we will obviously review it in the round. When we have a better idea of how it is operating, as it is a substantial undertaking and will take some time to bed down, we will consider what is the best way forward. There is little point in examining a system that, despite the faults, is the best possible solution to the present situation. As the position progresses, it may be that there is a better solution to fit the needs. In those circumstances we will be looking at it but we are a distance away from that.
