Mr. John Cregan:

In the report I stated it would have been preferable for at least two directors of the CRC and the HSE to have worked together to form a new board. I had no wish to go into the CRC. I also stated some alternative mechanism would have to be found for the HSE to deal with such situations in the future. I partially agree with the Deputy. It requires a different approach in the future. The HSE and the CRC were faced with a particular dilemma. I deliberately set a deadline of 31 March because it was in the interests of the CRC to have me there for the shortest period possible.
