Ms Goggin has been very clear that it is not part of her job to mediate. Unfortunately, there was a perception during the summer that it was part of her job. This is the main reason I wanted the CCPC before the committee today, to spell out exactly its role and what powers it needs so it can be more involved. What has come out of our talk today is that the sector regulator seems to be the way forward. The CCPC is an independent statutory body under the remit of the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation. There is a perception that its remit goes further than it does.
