James Lawless (Kildare North, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Before we get into a response, the Senator makes a good contribution but the report produced to today's hearing is on the generalities of the system as opposed to any one specific inquiry. I understand that Oireachtas Members will, of course, have an interest in particular inquiries. That is natural and part of our role. However, we will avoid a specific discussion because we do not want to prejudge any future hearing. We will discuss the generality of the matter. If that touches on specific matters, that is fine, but we will keep the discussion at the general policy level. Does Professor Cusack wish to come back in?
