I thank Mr. Scannell for his presentation. I have a number of questions about the review. Why have the terms of reference for the review not been finalised yet? What is the reason for this delay? When will the terms of reference be finalised? How long is the review scheduled to take? Will it be made public? Why close the initiative when the review is ongoing? Why not operate at least until the review is complete? Would it not be more efficient to review the initiative before the contract ends, or has the Department already decided to end the Succeed in Ireland initiative and is the review just a cover-up?
