Our amendment has the same intention as Senator Cummins's. There should be one key person in the ombudsman commission with a similar role to the Northern Ireland Police Ombudsman. There are many reasons for that. It would be useful for the profile of the office of the ombudsman commission if people had one person they could identify with it and have confidence in. It works very well in the cases of the Ombudsman and the Information Commissioner. We hope the Minister will accept our amendment with this purpose in mind.
