I fully agree with the Deputy, which is alarming from my perspective given our politics over the years. The Deputy's points about pushing the boat out are correct. It this committee is to have any real purpose, we need to push out the boundaries in terms of information flow as much as anything else.
I also agree with the Deputy on his prioritisation of the points. With regard to point 5 on legal advice, we must wait until our legal advisor, Ms Melissa English, is in a position to be here. She will be here next week. It was unforeseen that she would not be able to be here this week. Another point has slipped my mind. Deputy Calleary may contribute in the meantime if he wishes.
