Dr. John Lawlor:
It is a very important point. The point the Deputy makes is right. Often those at either ends of a complaint are subject to enormous personal and emotional stress. We employ a professional counselling service which we make available to both sides in these cases. That is paid for by the organisation. We inform the parties concerned that such counselling is available to them.
