Mr. Paul Quinn:

I am a little over two years in the role and we have had issues, largely in the education space, to be fair, and almost none in any other sector. In terms of the ones we were getting, we had some in the school arts, some on book sellers and one other to do with photocopiers and ICT. In regard to other sectors or industries coming forward saying they have significant issues, they have not beaten a path to my door or written to me. It is not coming through in any of the individual reflections from any of the industry representative bodies either.
