Before I continue, I wish to state that the Government has disputed the timescale for completion. It based its calculations on the work rate of the commission since its establishment, but it failed to allow for the obstructions and delays for which it and the Department of Education and Science are responsible. If the commission had been given the additional resources it requested and had been assisted in its work by the Government, its work could have been finished by 2005. It should not have been harassed by the Government and the Minister.
