Dr. Alan Wall:

There is no review of the structuresper se. The vehicle for that is the legislation before the House. I am here about 20 months. I had a previous job as deputy director of the Teaching Council of Ireland. There are limits to what we can do as things stand at the moment. We are not an ombudsman and we do not have investigatory powers. We rely on governing authorities to provide with undertakings that we have to use. We are trying to fix upon a more global, systemic, organised and modern approach to governance, which is a cascade of governance from us down to the governing authorities, which have a responsibility to exercise them, and assurances. It is another case of trust but verify at an appropriate level. The legislation before the House is about that kind of subsidiarity and co-regulation so it is not a case of a police force but rather us being able to rely on and governing authorities being empowered to do what they need to do.
