I thank Mr. Kenny for his patience; I have only a couple of questions remaining. Given that we have a variety of ombudsmen operating across a range of different areas in the State, does he see a benefit in establishing some type of unified structure? Of course, the Ombudsman for Children, for instance, is different from the Pensions Ombudsman and so on. Nevertheless, would it be Mr. Kenny's view that there should at least be a similar ground floor? Or is there already a sufficiently unified ground floor in place?
