Mr. Brian Lee:

That is an important question. To be clear, the information available to us before the RTÉ programme was not at that threshold of concern. What we saw in the RTÉ programme, however, it absolutely hit that threshold. Other regulatory authorities have powers of immediate closure. Invoking those powers usually involves the use of language such as "a grave concern to the health and well-being" of the users of a particular service. I have that level of concern after seeing this programme and I would activate closure powers immediately if they were available to us.
