If the deadline for the legislation is next year, is Mr. Kenny on target to reach that? Before Mr. Kenny came in, the committee was talking about all of the ombudsmen's offices. When a report is presented by an ombudsman to the Houses, the Whip can be applied and the report can be rejected. Should there be a different way to deal with all of the ombudsmen's offices? They are all supposed to have something extra and to be independent. Should there be a higher threshold for rejection of a report?
