We will examine the Deputy's second set of proposals on Report Stage. It is not before us now. The amendment before the committee relates to the details of the narrow level of reporting that is provided for. We might be able to capture it on a statistical basis. For example, we might be able to provide information on the number of people who have made a report to the confidential recipient. I said in response to Deputy McDonald that I would consider providing for some mechanism for reporting. I will have a look at that. I would certainly not be in favour of the disclosure of any of the detail.
