Mr. Tony O'Brien:

In the cases of genuinely private institutions, the people who own the founding shares in the articles of association will go through a process. We will encourage all of them to introduce an independent dimension. In the case of the Central Remedial Clinic, for example, the HSE, as the entity with responsibility for re-establishing the board, is working with Boardmatch Ireland as part of an external, independent and competency-based approach. We will offer support to encourage all of these boards to use that type of process for the reinvigoration of the boards. Each corporate entity will have a process laid down under company law that governs how board members are formally appointed. That is of less concern to me than the process by which they are selected.
