They are looking at that. On Deputy Cullinane's suggestion, I would say that we have so much going on here even if we go through the whole process the only possible good outcome at the end is that the Department or the Minister appoints an inspector, so why not do it now? We can go around in circles. They have come to the conclusion that the HEA did not have the authority to commission the report. As the Deputy said, the people who made the disclosures are swinging in the wind, and at some stage somebody hopes that either this will go away or that the Minister will appoint somebody to investigate. Will the committee recommend this to the Department?
