Mr. Terence O'Rourke:

On the shortcomings and instances where laws were not properly interpreted, those issues have been very well dealt with at the expert advisory committee, which has set out a detailed roadmap to make sure we deal with all those matters. Those things are all under way at the moment and detailed discussions are going on with the Department of Social Protection. Some of these areas are not straightforward. They are very complex areas, with differing views on interpreting the law. They are not black and white; there is some greyness there as well. We need to get it right. It looks as though mistakes were made in the past but we have to get it right and we are determined to do so.

Ms Cusack might wish to talk about the work we are doing at the moment to make sure those issues are corrected.
