Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

I thank the Deputy. First, I expect to have the report from that group within weeks. When I get the report, I will engage with the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General and I will immediately implement its recommendation, subject to the Comptroller and Auditor General being happy with what we propose.

On debt, when the Comptroller and Auditor General originally reported on the fisheries harbours management system there was a problem with the recovery of debt. There has been a dramatic change in the level of debt. I will come back to the committee with the figures or, maybe, Dr. Beamish will have them for me. We now have a system for the collection of debt, which is centralised and which has a regular escalation feature where we know at what point we will escalate and at what point, for example, we will go to court.
