Mr. Robert Watt:
First of all, we have to find a person who is independent on the panel, who was independent of the person, section or division within the Department, who can be seen to be genuinely independent. If it involves lots of people, then we would have an immediate practical challenge to find somebody who is seen as genuinely independent. Within the corporate service unit for example, Mr. David Feeney is not going to look at something that might happen in another part of his area. It has to be somebody who is in a different part of the Department.
