Mr. Art O'Leary:

I do not have any concerns right now. There are nine independent bodies which form the fundamental rights authorities here. When we think about the role of the DPC, IHREC, ourselves and Coimisiún na Meán, I do not foresee any difficulties in the context of any of these bodies being coerced or forced into doing something they feel is not right. Our experience so far, as an independent body which is basically set up under statute and which has emerged from the Department of housing, is that the Government and the Oireachtas have been more than willing to allow us to flex our independent muscles. We have all the facilities we need to do that.
