Dr. Deirdre Garvey:

I appreciate Deputy Ó Cuív's view of the agency, and I know he recognises it is not a reflection on the executive or the board. From the perspective of the chairperson of the board, we are working with the statutory instrument we have and the remit as defined within that. Regardless of whether we like it, that is our remit right now and our objective is to do that as efficiently and effectively as we can. While I understand the points the Deputy raised, it is not within our remit right now to address those matters.

The Deputy identified some projects in terms of potential and asked about a mapping exercise. There are also some to which he appears to have the answers and perhaps he needs those answers confirmed. In regard to whether there is an unseen hand, I am afraid I cannot answer that either, but perhaps the Deputy has the answer.
