I thank the Deputy. I agree with him on his first point and I believe that the committee can make a recommendation so I will not be asking Mr. Duggan to come back on that point. Mr. Duggan has left the position of the Department very clear in that respect. It is within the remit of this committee to make a recommendation along those lines on that particular provision. We have the flexibility to make whatever recommendations we like with regard to the total contributions approach, TCA, and I believe that is something we will need to look at further.

Is there anything in particular which Mr. Duggan wished to come back on? I do not want him to be revisiting the points that he has already made.
