Ms Ward referred to the office being very effective. My contribution was never to highlight otherwise. It is a very effective office and it has never been my issue or contention that the Office of the Ombudsman for Children is not doing its job. My contention is that it is not responsible for the ills that exist within the education system, but neither is it the solution. That is in no way a reflection of the calibre and execution of Dr Muldoon's duties within his office. I want to clarify that point.
