Ms Josephine Feehily:

That is fair, but the authority must come to a view by the end of the year in answering that question, and we have not yet done so. We are at the stage of gathering views from members, and when we have formed these views we will make them known, but right now we have what we have. There will always be a dilemma about where on that line the policy makers chose to locate an independent body versus the role of Government.
