I thank Ms Keane. On the authorised officer, I too have concerns about that change in light in particular of the resources and so on that will be required. I have tabled a number of parliamentary questions on the matter. Does the commission have information on the shortfall of authorised officers throughout the country? Is it concerned about the possible later commencement of this section due to recruitment issues and how we can ensure there is no such delay? That relates to head 10, section 9.
