Mr. Mark Griffin:

There are two people. The programme director would have a huge amount of understanding of the regulatory system because we have him in on secondment from ComReg. So he knows the players in the market, he knows how the market functions and he understands broadband very, very well.

We have a technical director at that level as well who, again, has come in as a permanent civil servant from the private sector, who knows the broadband market from a technical perspective very, very well.

The programme's sponsor would have a lot of experience in dealing with largescale projects in the Department over an extended period of time. So he would bring that experience of project management in dealing with external stakeholders and dealing with complex procurement, regulatory and financial issues from previous projects that he would have been engaged in.
