Mr. Brian Kavanagh:

That goes to the new legislation, drafted in 2016, in relation to the creation of an industry services committee within the board and the need for a nominee from that committee to come forward. The board member the Deputy is referring to represents the Irish Stable Staff Association. He represented that association in one capacity prior to 2016 and in another post 2016 when the industry services committee was set up. He is effectively the stable staff representative on that committee. While the person stayed the same, the capacity under which he was appointed to the board changed under that 2016 Act.
