I have one final question, and I thank the Cathaoirleach for indulging me with a bit of extra time here. The Department has made a clear finding against Inland Fisheries Ireland, IFI. The IFI board has said it does not like that finding and has written back to the Department. How is that the end of the matter? Maybe the Department can assist me here. If a Department appoints an external investigator and makes a very clear finding following that protected disclosure against the entity being investigated, what is the consequence for the entity being investigated if it refutes that finding?
