Now we have Mr. Hall taking proceedings to bring clarity, supervision and oversight that should have been there from day one. I used the term "fáinne fí", a vicious circle, yesterday in the Dáil. This is certainly a fáinne fí. We set the body up, we take it out of scrutiny and then we place the burden of securing scrutiny on a member of the public. We are going around in circles. It really is mind-boggling. This is not to mention getting one's head around the language alone. I am thinking of people watching these proceedings. We cannot sit here and say there is proper scrutiny of this process.
