Mr. Evan Cullen:

Something that is unique - it is a matter of fact as the IAA agrees - is that it is not subject to freedom of information legislation or the Ombudsman. It has a commercial mandate and can write its own statutory instruments. To have issues addressed by an organ of the State which has such wide-ranging powers and is able to deflect criticism is very difficult. I do not know of any other organisation in the State that has a commercial mandate that is not subject to the Ombudsman and freedom of information legislation and that can write its own statutory instruments. If there is such an organisation, it would be news to me.
