Dr. Niall Connors:

I understand the Deputy's position.

As far as the security inspections are concerned, the IAA, on behalf of the State, is carrying out inspections. Some of these are scheduled inspections and some are unscheduled. It is about ensuring there is a quality assurance level within the State and the State has reached a specific standard. My colleague, Mr. Brandon, spoke about outside agencies observing what we as a State are doing and what our standard is. The quality assurance system comprises both announced and unannounced inspections to ensure we have a robust system in place.
