On a point of a clarification, although this report was published almost 12 months ago, I think it was only 20 June when it was passed by the Oireachtas, so by the time the Oireachtas committee received the order, we were almost finished that session of the Dáil. We only managed to get our teeth into this from September on, and we have to report on it by 31 December. I am not sure we can go outside the recommendations because it is an order from the Taoiseach.
It sets out quite clearly what we are to consider.
