Ms Orla O'Connor:

Yes. This is an important issue in terms of independence and accountability. When many organisations and members of the National Women's Council were making submissions on the strategy, there were recommendations about having external accountability through ombudsmen, a victims commissioner or even an Oireachtas committee. We have examined a number of ways of achieving that increased layer. While the Government did not go with that at the time of the strategy, it is the National Women's Council view that it remains necessary, so we are still campaigning for it. That extra piece is missing.
