Dr. O'Carroll mentioned that there is one single agency. Given that the report was commissioned by the DRHE, does he believe it should be the agency that has the main responsibility for the implementation of the recommendations, as opposed to attributing responsibility across numerous sectors? It would require additional support from the Department. I tend to agree with Dr. O'Carroll that unless a responsible agency is nominated, it can be very difficult to get the recommendations of a report implemented. Does he believe the DRHE should be the body?
