I thank the two Senators again for raising this matter in the Seanad. I will bring the details of this debate directly to the attention of the chairman and the chief executive of the SEC. I will also ask them to indicate the steps they propose to take to make sure that the concerns expressed about the errors in the mathematics paper in particular, in addition to the other errors, can be addressed and to outline the early warning mechanism available to us. The logistics are extraordinary. We all make mistakes, and mistakes will be made into the future, but if a mistake is made after the printing we need to know the corrections that can be put into the papers. I would not hold out much prospect in that regard because of the sheer logistics involved but I will certainly raise it with them and see what can be done.
