Can I make a suggestion? We need to deliberate after the meeting today because a number of actions arise from the annual report that we need to follow up with the Government and seek assurance on the five key points raised in the annual report. Perhaps it would be helpful if Mr. Tyndall were to send us a brief report after the meeting today outlining the outstanding issues that he remains concerned about. Our committee can then engage with the HSE and the Department to see why they cannot address those issues. Would that be a way of dealing with it?
