Mr. Dermot McCarthy:

I think it would be my, sort of, very broad characterisation of, if you like, the way in which Government was held to account by the Oireachtas that it gathered life, if you like, in terms of specifics, either done or undone, rather than the broader issues. And, for example, given I had a particular association with social partnership, I was always surprised - and maybe at some level disappointed - that there was never much interest in debating social partnership agreements or NESC strategy reports or whatever, even though, for example, at the Taoiseach's request, I did suggest to the committee on Seanad reform at one point that they might take a particular interest in engaging with NESC and the social partnership process. So it's just a general observation.
