A significant number of the recommendations have been followed through on and have been worked on. I did not list them all there. The whole consultation around the establishment of a tribunal has taken an especially lengthy time, and rightly so, because people wanted to consult and get it right and have suggestions made that we have taken on board. We moved very quickly on identifying that justice Bill for ensuring all sexual assault is investigated by An Garda Síochána. We have also taken steps in respect of the treatment of women in the Defence Forces and in respect of a whole range of the recommendations that were made to make the work environment one where dignity is the key principle that is followed.

I can get a list for the Deputy of all the areas we have followed through on. The external oversight body has been established, but now we are going to put it on a legislative footing. We have published that legislation. There is a lot of work going on. Then we produced the strategic overarching framework, which involves both recommendations of the IDG and also the CODF.
