Dr. Fergal Lynch:
We have been working on this for some time. There was a consciousness that this was a serious problem for some time. Tusla was established in 2014. We started conversations with Tusla very early on in 2014 and 2015. We were committed to addressing the issues as quickly as possible. In fact, we started a consultation process and produced a consultation paper in October 2015. That obviously would have taken a number of months to produce. We were working on it during the course of 2014 and 2015.
