Ms Keane referred to governance, how the culture is not easily changed and that it is something that will take time to effect. I gather four of the members on the new committee were on the previous committee and that three of the four had only served on the old committee for one or two years.

There is one member who has quite a long established service with the OCI. In fact, when we had our briefing on Monday, I indicated to the clerk that it might perhaps be beneficial for that person to join the delegates today because of the longevity of his service and because he would have been on the board at the time some of these decisions were being taken. It is unfortunate that he was not in a position to come today, given some of the questions being asked about decisions that were being taken at board level prior to Ms Keane's appointment to the board.
