I thank Deputy O'Callaghan for his comment, with which I agree. A concern about potential knock-on consequences is, of course, shared by many people. Considering the role and statutory power I have, it falls on me to withstand that. As I said, that would certainly be my intention. This is an exceptional position given the level of responsibility and the role it plays in Irish society generally. I sincerely hope we now get candidates of the highest possible calibre to apply and that the person who is ultimately successful will deliver.
