Ms O'Neill is correct that the organisation that she is soon to step into is important in the context of the credibility of the State in regard to manufacturing and foreign direct investment. It is a key role. I have looked over Ms O'Neill's impressive career. She has held a large number of high profile and important roles. My questions are not specifically about Ms O'Neill although it is important that we, as a committee, try to get a good understanding of the individual who will fulfil this role.

Does Ms O'Neill have specific qualifications relating to quality and standards? Is she a member of any other public or private body? How many times will she meet the board? Will she be involved in a day-to-day role or will she attend monthly meetings?
