As the Deputy has outlined, none of this is straightforward. I do not pretend to know the time the scoping exercise should or needs to take, but we must allow the judge to do the work he feels necessary in order to provide a clear, direct and pointed response to the questions asked, based on the terms of reference that have been set in this instance. I continue to support the work he is doing. He is engaging with the O’Farrell family to ensure constant contact and communication. I appreciate that the exercise is taking longer than the family would like but I am reassured that it is in its final stages and that the report will be produced and presented to me-----
