Dr. Deirdre Keyes:

The role of the board is set out in the Act in terms of its statutory and reserved functions. There are particular decisions that can only be made by the board and that have to be referred to the board. Moreover, the code of governance and oversight arrangements of the board and the respective committees of the board are set out. The audit and finance committees are of particular importance but all the other committees are relevant too, including boards of management of schools and youth committees, etc. These are the structures in place to allow the board to have oversight. Perhaps I might talk to the chairperson about it.
