I was going to raise the number of board members but the Minister stated he would reflect on whether it should be 11 or 13 and I thank him for this. It is important we have broader expertise. I was going to make the point that 13 is a very sensible number, and would not be unwieldy as the Minister pointed out. Groups such as IBEC and ICTU would bring a new dimension to it and have a different angle and they also have many years of experience.
