A recurring feature in Irish political life is that we get these things and then people sail away into the sunset and we do not actually see anyone held to account in any way, shape or form, which is very frustrating.

I want to ask Dr. Wall about section 64. I know he is in a peculiar position because he is expecting this process to come to a conclusion relatively soon and therefore he cannot speak to us too much more about it. Compared to the interactions previously when Dr. Wall did not have those statutory powers, has he identified a cultural shift in the organisation? Obviously, he arrived with more powers under the new statute. Did he find that he was dealing with a different institution in terms of its openness and its willingness to engage?
