Mr. Ciar?n Breen:

Respectfully, I am not saying that. What I am saying is "Yes, on a case-by-case basis". We have mentioned it at a meeting of the joint governance group as being an issue but, ultimately, record-keeping is a policy issue for both the HSE and others. We cannot make that kind of imposition on them. There is cost, scale and so on. That is not to do with us.
