Ms Vivienne Jupp:

The role of the chairperson of Coillte or any organisation is to support and challenge the management team in place, review and provide input into the strategic plan the organisation develops and ensure the organisation takes account of all the stakeholders involved in the whole process. It is also about ensuring the right governance is in place, the risks are well managed and mitigating actions are taken to ensure this. That is a very summarised account of what a chairperson does.
