I am curious. Normally most Ministers wait three months before submitting their reports. We have almost never seen the situation where the Minister did not go to the 89th or 90th day and I gather this one was issued by the Minister within a fortnight of receiving it. I know it is not Mr. McCarthy's call but has he any observations in it? I am delighted to see it being issued so promptly and other Ministers should be requested to do so. It is the first time we have seen a Minister not sitting on a report for three months.
