Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

We have responded to that. When we advertise for these posts we look for particular kinds of skills. The people appointed to the board in the last number of years have included a senior veterinarian who was the head of the EU's food and veterinary office. He was also, at one time, the chief veterinary officer in the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. He is also a lawyer. We have appointed someone with legal expertise who is the State Solicitor in Cork City. We have also appointed a financial expert, Mr. Creed, who is the chief executive officer of Bank of Ireland Finance. These are the kinds of skills we advertised for and these were the appointees.
