I thank Mr. Tyndall and his colleagues for the work they have done on this. He has referred to the shocking administration of this scheme and its narrow interpretation. There is a political contradiction here in that at one level the Department is accepting and thanking the Ombudsman and the Minister for Justice and Equality has said that he will give the report full and careful consideration, but on the flip side the Minister has said that he has been assured that the scheme is being operated with compassion and dedication by a team of officials in the Department. Does Mr. Tyndall feel that there has been full political acceptance of his recommendations? Does he feel the Minister wants his recommendations to be fully implemented or is there a contradiction or a reluctance on his part to back Mr. Tyndall's investigations and report fully? Does Mr. Tyndall want to elaborate on that point?
