I thank Professor Hardiman for her opening statement. I will deal with two matters before I open up the questions to members. The first matter is political oversight. Which countries does Professor Hardiman consider to be more effective than the Republic of Ireland in their political oversight and how do they differ from the Irish political system? Further to that, to what extent are political institutions and the electoral systems in which they operate important in determining these types of differences?
