Ms Patricia Byron:

On where they go and why they go to particular settings, it is something I have asked about as well. It is based on the data the agency has. A lot of people might say there is a big issue in the psychosocial area now, bullying or whatever. Others might say it is the chemical area, for example. With this new database, the agency is going to be able to calibrate and see where maybe the smallest entity - I do not want to comment on Creeslough but there it was a small petrol station and the impact of an incident was humongous and devastating for the families and the area. It is not necessarily the massive plant down in Waterford with 300 employees, or whatever, that can cause the most devastation. I will go back to the word "sandbox". It is about that sort of approach. We are building something a little bit more sophisticated. I am not saying that what is there is bad but with our extended brief we need to be sure we are covering all the bases in the right way.

My background is in insurance so I am very much risk-based, risk analysis, evidence-based, risk frameworks, dashboards, all of that. On top of that, going back to the Deputy's view, it is about being on site, talking to people and just getting the sense of things as well because the data do not always unearth everything. That is why we need to be on site. I have seen it myself over the years. I have inspected many a roof or many a farm. You go out to look at what you think is the issue and it is just in the discussion between the car and the slurry pit that you see there is a totally different risk here.
