I confirm that Deputy O'Brien's analysis is correct and I apologise for suggesting to the contrary in error last week. I and the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, will bring proposals to Cabinet next month looking at the overall governance structures and how we can strengthen them. I expect there will be changes in those structures. We will take legal advice on whether that will require primary legislation or if there will be scope to do some of that by statutory instrument. However, Deputy O'Brien's interpretation of the statutory instrument is correct.
