Mr. Shane Herlihy:

In industry, consultant reports would always go through a review process internally in the organisation where the author is reviewed by a senior member of the team. There is that internal process. Obviously, scientific research is subject to a lot more peer review because it is published and so on. There is a validity to the question raised with the agency around peer review of the report, particularly when it has such a bearing on policy that can affect huge sectors of the economy.
