I have two quick questions. Do I get the sense from the presentation today that there is Tusla of the early years and Tusla of the modern years? Is there a legacy issue pertaining to some of the issues which have arisen and which have broken down people's confidence in the organisation? Is there a historical legacy issue from the transfer from the HSE and the setting up of Tusla? Has it emerged that there are a number of discrepancies and issues arising that no longer pertain to the agency? Is that what Mr. McBride is saying? He might clarify that for me.

Could there be a file on me in Tusla of which I would not be aware? At what stage would Tusla make me aware of a file that existed with my name on it and an allegation, be it true or false? How long could that file potentially exist in Tusla, with my name on and containing an allegation, and of which I would not be aware? Mr. McBride might address those matters.
