I reiterate that this report was submitted to the Department on 25 May 2017. Five months later, through no fault of IHRA, this was published after the budget. The Minister can see the recommendations. Indecon has rightly recommended that a number of corporate management issues be addressed in its five recommendations. It also clearly states that State seed funding could be provided on a pilot basis and its impact could be evaluated before any further funding is considered. I would be uncomfortable, considering this report was delayed by five months-----
