I welcome our guests. I have been busy looking at their impressive website. It contains an incredible amount of information on the BeSMART programme and so forth. Well done to them.

I wish to make an observation on a matter that the committee has discussed many times. I come from a rural constituency with small businesses and I hear many complaints about inspectors, in that their attitudes can be a bit undesirable. Everyone cannot manage everyone and those inspectors might not even be the HSA's, but there was a conversation about having fewer inspectors and merging a number of authorities, whereby a single inspector would cover several elements.

In that way, we could ensure that inspectors are well briefed in communicating and how to handle challenging and difficult situations. Does Mr. Horgan have any comments in that regard?
