I have a sense that the Ombudsman has been slightly side lined and sent down a cul de sac to some degree. It would be timely to look at that in the round as well.

I want to thank our guests for their time and their responses and for the work they are doing on this very important legislation. We will obviously do our own work on this and will be making suggestions, which I hope will be of assistance to the Department in putting together the final Bill which will come before us again on Committee Stage.
