Mr. Ciarán Ó hÓbáin:

I understand the point about there being one member. I have been involved in committees and have scars on my back after chairing a GAA club on the north side of Dublin for nine years. The Minister's appointee to the board is just one of a suite of governance measures. The board has only one purpose in life - to deliver on the contract it has signed with the Minister. It is a 1,500-page contract, with a suite of governance measures. That is where the key controls are for the Minister.
