My query relates to governance, the risk register and the fact that I could not find certain information. Perhaps Mr. O'Leary could answer the question around the issue of the risk register and how the risk committee has been looking at the issue in terms of governance. Whatever about not wanting to talk about it from a political point of view, and there may be valid reasons for this, from the perspective of a risk register and proper governance and oversight, and regardless of the political outcome or the political issues, the risk committee's job is to say that it has an obligation to look at the impact on the Department and all the 24 agencies.

I also did not see on the risk register the governance and risk committee issues around a united Ireland. I would like to have Mr. O'Leary's comments on this. From being a member of the Joint Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement, I am aware it is not on the risk register. While I do not see it as a risk, it would have a huge impact on all of the Departments. A Border poll is being talked about by people. It was discussed on "Today with Sean O'Rourke". It is not on the risk register. Why is it not on the risk register? Was it discussed at the risk committee, and if not, why not?
