My question is not a smart one and is more for my own information. It demonstrates my lack of knowledge. What was Ms Moylan's role on the board? In my view, her appointment as a public servant to the board was, to some degree, in the public interest. Would she agree with that? As a senior civil servant from the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government, would she have been appointed to carry out a public-interest role? Would she have viewed that her role was to keep an eye on things from the Department's perspective and from a public-interest perspective in addition to honouring her responsibilities as a member of the board?
