I thank Mr. Kiernan. Deputy Ward touched on the issue of funding in his questions. Members of the committee are very concerned that the commission receives the requisite level of funding it needs to implement the provisions of the legislation, and do what it needs to do, once the legislation is passed. Is the commission confident that it has a commitment from the Government on funding? I fear we could be back here in a couple of years and what has been hoped for with this legislation, and what people are trying to achieve, will not have been achieved because of a lack of funding.
