If mistakes were made in the past, as long as collectively we all learn from them, including those in the room and those outside it, it is a good thing. I do not want to say any more about it. We now have a situation where they have access to a track and let us see what comes out of the Indecon report.

Deputy McConalogue referenced the €80 million, which is certainly a lot of money and there are competing demands for that type of money. There is a five-year strategic plan for HRI and we receive its annual report. I do not see anything wrong with the suggestion that there should be engagement with the board on a structured basis. Perhaps the committee and the Department can take this up.
