We have tried to get a handle on this before. Ultimately it comes through the Department. Will the Department come back to the committee within a month on what progress has been made? Where progress has not been made, will the Department explain what action it will take to ensure this happens?

We have the IHRB and HRI but the buck stops with the Department. The moneys are voted by the Oireachtas in good faith to ensure this is a good industry. I hope progress has been made since we last met HRI. Where progress has not been made, what actions did senior staff and the Secretary General take to get on top of this? Can we have that report from Dr. Smyth in four weeks' time?
