That would be useful. I have a final point, which relates to one of the bittersweet exchanges we have had today. There was an appalling lack of checks, balances and controls in place for far too long so it is good we have shone a spotlight on that. There will be opportunities with the new legislation and I welcome much of what has been said. I would like clarification on one issue. I have no difficulty with a single service provider in principle and much of the padding around that which has been discussed is good as well. What is the problem with establishing it as a separate public body? This may have been asked as I had to step out to a different sectoral committee. Why is it so problematic and why does this not form part of the legislation?
