I am assuming that the Deputy is referring to the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI) which is a professional body with a division of behaviour analysis. I can inform the Deputy that there is no record in my Department of a formal bilateral meeting during the period in question with the PSI on applied behaviour analysis or indeed of a request from the professional body for such a meeting.
