Ms Emily O'Reilly:

Yes. When we met with the Minister two weeks ago, he shared with us the response he had made to the UN Deputy High Commissioner in that regard. He has agreed to keep us informed of the ongoing conversation and I believe it is important we are kept aware of that so that we can deal with any issues that directly affect us.

I am not sure whether the committee will approve us or not, but when I became Ombudsman, I learned a lot of public administration phrases, one of which was "running the rule over". I think what the committee is doing is running the rule over us.
