I thank Ms Maney and her staff. I am a new member of the committee, but I must emphasise that in my time on this committee I have never seen such comprehensive coverage by any Department. I commend Ms Maney on that. We have rarely, if ever, seen all of the Comptroller and Auditor General's recommendations brought on board within such a short space of time, in this case a year. Sometimes there is no regard for them whatsoever. I am impressed. It deserves and needs to be said. We are often very critical. If all Departments were managed in a similar fashion, our job would be very simple and would not take half as long. I commend Ms Maney and her staff on that. I have not heard from Mr. O'Keeffe.

There are some points of interest about which I would like to ask. When a case is not accepted for appeal, has there been any analysis of the main reasons for that decision being made? Is there a judicial review of a decision or is there a High Court process?
