Mr. Bernard Byrne:

I cannot give that guarantee and the Deputy knows I cannot. I do not know the circumstances of each case so I cannot guarantee I will abrogate responsibility for them. This is for the reason referred to in the Deputy's previous comment, namely, that I may well have responsibility in some other way that may impinge on the issue. Our objective will be to be fair to everyone. The case to be determined and considered by the ombudsman may be reasonably clear in terms of findings. We have worked closely with the ombudsman on all the issues and we have only one finding against us generally - that is, outside the tracker issue. We are working to solve all issues as quickly and expeditiously as possible.
