One of the proposals put forward was by Ms Patricia O'Sullivan. She was talking about the fields of counselling, psychotherapy and psychology, and she thought it would assist public confidence if validation and accreditation processes could be streamlined, and a national working group established to harmonise policies. Obviously, I am conscious that Ms O'Byrne is not a politician and it is an executive decision. Does she have any views on that? Would that be something feasible, if ministerial approval was behind it?
