I will also congratulate and put on record my appreciation for the C and AG and his team for their role, the support they give this committee and the historical impact the office has had on public bodies in this State over the century it has been in existence. I commend the team on the wonderful commemorative event that took place the other day. I thank them for that and again thank them for their support to the committee.

Mr. O'Reardon is probably one of the quickest off the block in coming here. His feet were only just under the desk and now he is here at the PAC. I congratulate him on his new role. We look forward to working with him. I thank him for being here this morning and for the information he supplied to the committee in advance of his presentation.

I will start with the C and AG's report, which recommended a number of reforms to the Department. If I am not mistaken, there were three recommendations, two of which have been fully implemented, according to the C and AG, while one is outstanding. The C and AG has made a further recommendation, which I understand the Department has taken on board and is now going to implement. Will he elaborate on that last remaining recommendation due to be implemented by the Department? What kind of timeframe is proposed?
