It is good that the Minister raised the issue of the review and the changes being proposed, with which I agree. In terms of the report the Minister received following the independent review, I understand a working group was established. We have not had any contact with that working group and nor, it seems, has the author of the report had any contact with the Department or any officials regarding the implementation of the recommendations. If he is in a position to do so, will the Minister outline the work of the working group and when it is likely we will see movement on implementing the recommendations of the report?
