The former committee did valuable work. Dr. McVeigh was one of the presenters during its process. It is two years since the publication of the report. Deputy O'Callaghan and I have stated that, in our exercise, we are neither attempting to replace nor repeat. Rather, we are trying to build upon. We recognise that the impetus has sagged. We are trying to reinject impetus into the case.

Dr. McVeigh used the word "frustration". Is he taken aback? He is certainly disappointed by the lapse in time and the failure to adopt the report of the former committee and deliver on its recommendation. It was an all-party and unanimous report, but the issue has not maintained the drive that was apparent at the time.
