While these are raw data, that is fine and I thank Ms McGuinness.

My final question is to Mr. Kieran Timmins and Ms Stephanie Manahan and is in respect of the CRC's own structures. I have read the curricula vitae or the biographies of the CRC's new board it sent to the committee, including that of Ms Manahan herself. It appears as though the CRC certainly has a robust, credible and diverse group of people on its board and I wish all of them the very best of luck. While I am aware the CRC is reviewing its memorandum, that this is raw and it is only coming to terms with all of this now, the witnesses might indicate how they envisage the structuring of the board, what lessons can be learnt from the past with regard to the relationship with the HSE, term limits, annual general meetings and, in an issue we discussed with the representatives of the previous board, involvement with the service users, as well as possible representation for them.
