I have a final question. I have not seen any reference to the body’s engagement with an Oireachtas committee and whether it would report to a committee on a regular basis as part of its work. The heads are very loose and when the Bill is published it will be tightened up fully. Our job here is to try to see if there are any suggestions we could make for it. That is something I have not seen here. Does anyone have a view on that and if there would be any issues around reporting to an Oireachtas committee from time to time? Should it be in the legislation?
