I thank the Member for his question. I am sure that he will not mind me pointing out that his party kept the institutions down for two years and delayed us from taking forward any of the work needed to ensure that the Act is implemented. As I indicated in my response to Ms Egan, we are working at pace to deliver this as quickly as possible. The consultation has been completed since we took ownership of the Department, and I am committed to ensuring that this important legislation is operationalised as quickly as possible.
