Mr. Pat Healy:
It is not an investigation. As I mentioned, there are two processes and this is an assurance process. The first task is to look at what happened in Áras Attracta to identify why all of the significant training and other work that had been done to improve matters in Áras Attracta did not have the effect it should have had or that we expected. It is also specifically tasked with coming up with a plan for Áras Attracta, to look at each of the individual bungalows and come up with a plan. Probably the most important part is to take that learning and see how we translate it in a systematic way across the country. Dr. McCoy outlined to the national summit his plans in relation to that and we are using the national summit. There is also a whole process by which academics and others can feed into this so that there will be a rich learning that can be translated across the country.
