Mr. Phil Meaney:

I do not know. Deputy Ross might ask the people who appointed me. Financially and in every other way, my appointment to Bord na gCon has been a limiting factor to me. Deputy Ross seems to be of the opinion that this was a big scalp for somebody. It was not for me. The past four years in Bord na gCon have been very difficult. I came into a situation where there was no executive. I had come from an organisation that was very well organised and was working in a very functional way. There was no executive in place. To get things done through a public company is not like a private company. We had to put a strategy in place. What I am trying to say is that it took a while to put an executive in place. All board members have been changed since I came in except one.
