Professor Brian MacCraith:

We would have no problem with that. I think it would be very important. Obviously, we would be very happy to continue to engage with this committee for this phase of our existence. There was mention of an annual report which would be laid before the Oireachtas. In terms of ongoing reporting, the current modality is a quarterly report to the Tánaiste and Minister for Defence. We are open to accept any invitation to come before this committee itself but on an ongoing basis, once we become a statutory body, I think this will be important as well.
