Ms Josephine Feehily:

Dissatisfied is not a word I would use. I have said publicly a number of times that the authority always knew its powers were a work in progress. The Act, very cleverly and unusually, obliged us to take a view on the adequacy of our powers by the end of year two. It was clear everyone knew there would have to be an evolution in our powers. I would not go as far as to say dissatisfied. It is only this year that the full Act was commenced so it is really only since 1 January this year we have had all of the sections commenced. As our work has progressed, our experience is showing up unevenness and awkwardness where sections hop against each other and we will be saying things about those. I am not sure we could have come to that view without going through that.
