Mr. Ronan Cavanagh:

I will say something and then hand over to Ms Rickard-Clarke. On the timeline, we understand it will be soon - a matter of weeks rather than months, but certainly soon - that the Law Reform Commission regulatory framework recommendation report will come out. We understand that a big part of it will be about recommendations on the legal set-up of a national safeguarding authority. Our view is that, in a comprehensive sense, when you talk about the five key ingredients, the authority would be broadly encompassing and would deal with those issues in an overall sense. What we would like to come away with today is a sense that when we have clarity on that, that we could come back to the committee for any assistance with what the key points are and what a working group that has been established could be working on. What we do not want is the report to come out and then for there to be a long process. Are there things on which we could provide clarity to the committee in terms of a working group? Is there a process we could help to distil. The five key points would sit within the national authority which would take ownership of the cross-sectoral complexity of it. The aim is that the authority would be a key vehicle for dealing with that.
