I accept Ms Cross’s point, but it worked well from a European perspective when John Bruton was appointed to act as a figurehead in the United States. I accept that much of the role was political, but is it something we should consider in the broader mix? It is not ideal in every circumstance but perhaps there is a role for such appointments.
