Mr. Gleeson has answered my follow-on question about whether there is an appeals mechanism. When one changes legislation, one wishes to future proof it for the next 20 years when different people will be involved and we do not know what the position will be. There is an adjudication process in the event that those involved in integrity services investigate something HRI is doing, which might lead HRI to decide to cut off funding to it because it does not like what is happening. I accept what Mr. Gleeson said about the board being representative and that that is not likely to happen, but in the event that it is required, an adjudication process is available.
