We had RTÉ in last year. We know the scope section is going through hundreds of cases. I asked RTÉ how long it expected to take to go through all of the cases and it said 15 years, which was quite shocking. There were two people permanently on this. Mr. McKeon says there are 18 people in a unit that would be looking at many different sectors. How many individuals does he think are involved in the review that the particular unit is looking at? What timeline are we talking about here?
