I thank Mr. Tyndall. Before I open up the debate to members, Mr. Tyndall is probably aware that we ourselves have addressed this issue in some considerable detail in the period up to the summer recess. We had a series of four public hearings and we also visited two centres, one that we felt would indicate a better experience for people and one we felt might be indicative of where less than the best circumstances prevailed.

We are in the final stages of the preparation of our own draft report and we look forward to presenting a copy of it to Mr. Tyndall.

The first member to indicate is Deputy Jim O'Callaghan. If other colleagues would like to indicate, I will take the names.
