Peter Tyndall is to step down as Ombudsman for Public Services and return to his native Dublin, where he is taking up a similar role. There is no news yet as to who will take over, but Peter Tyndall has set the bar very high and will be missed.

The Ombudsman's role and his powers are subject to far too many restrictions, and Peter Tyndall has done a superb job under the circumstances to help ordinary people across Wales achieve at least some justice in their dealings with incompetent and at times unfair and even vindictive representatives of public bodies.

It would be good to hear his views on how he thinks the Ombudsman's role should be developed and the changes that are needed before he departs.
