Mr. Greg Dempsey:

The Department will run the process to offer the new chair to the Minister. We will do that with the Public Appointments Service, PAS. We have already engaged with that body to let those responsible know that we will be seeking to appoint a new chair and what the skill sets and competencies we require. The PAS is engaging with us in terms of a process to ensure we cast the net as wide as possible and attract a wide range of applicants. Then, there will be a process that will culminate in a recommendation or a number of recommendations to the Minister. That can take six to eight weeks, but we have started that process. In the meantime, as I said in my opening remarks, it is possible that we will appoint an interim chairperson from the current board, but we will have to talk to the individuals.
