Dr. Fergal Quinn:

To clarify the issue raised by Deputy Ó Caoláin and the reference to the 2014 to 2016 period, Better Outcomes, Brighter Futures was published in April 2014. We immediately set about putting in place a three-year schedule of actions. The reference to 2014 to 2016 is a reference to that three-year schedule of actions that is part of the implementation plan. The 2014 component has already passed. However, the schedule represents a series of actions which are partly from the 2014 and early 2015 period. These are already in place. We then move onto 2016, and by 2017 we will have a period for a mid-point review. I sent the implementation plan we are looking at, which deals with that three-year period. It looks partly backwards but mostly forwards. I apologise if it caused confusion.
