To be fair, and we are not on a football pitch here, had the Minister come back and said he needed to delay this meeting because he had not got the survey that was part of the report, members would have been annoyed because we were pushing it out further. He has said he will come in whenever that survey is given to him with all that information. The committee is given a huge volume of information. If we can focus on the questions, policies and solutions rather than personalities, as we always do at this committee, it would be far more beneficial than being distracted by things that are happening off the ball.

Deputy Casey asked several questions too.
