The Department is not proposing to set down the types of individuals and types of experience it wants to have on the board. I am particularly focused on the disability piece. Mr. Lemass might have a look at that because I firmly believe that we need to have someone from that sector and a tenant advocate, which is an absolute must. Could I get that commitment? I know it will be ministerial appointees. I do not necessarily want to have to bring in an amendment as it might be difficult if we are going to become prescriptive - I understand that. I do not want to do that and I strongly urge that those people, in particular, be included as well as others. I would be a bit worried if it was just left at appointing between five and 11 people.
