We are not trying to pre-empt what the committee will say. I think - and I believe Deputy Heydon will agree with this - there should be a recommendation that if the board is restricted to 12, the standing committees would, where possible, have non-members from the representative organisations as a feed-in and that the chair of each committee would actually be a member of the board and do his or her job accordingly and represent the relevant committee on the board in the interests of streamlining. I do not think the Deputy would disagree on that as a recommendation that may emanate. I must be careful what I say will happen, but I can anticipate that may well be one of them.
