That is the crux of it. The representative associations need to have a copy of the report prior to publication. That is the guarantee I am seeking. They will not have an opportunity to respond and adequately deal with the report if it is given to them on the day of publication when they present themselves at UL. They need the report in advance so that they can digest it and come forward with their own observations. Will the Minister of State ensure that they will get a copy of the report in advance of the UL meeting?
