Maybe the Chair or the clerk to the committee will write to the Minister to seek a tiny bit more clarification on this. It might have been October when former Deputy Liz O'Donnell was appointed as chairperson of the Road Safety Authority and she came before this committee. I remember that each member, across parties, said in their contributions that they supported her candidacy. We had utterances of support and ratification so I would be curious to see if we could get clarification on that. How long is this interim appointment for? With this new Bill that is working its way through the Oireachtas to the point of enactment, are there any memoranda of understanding that this interim chair would take on the combined bodies or anything like that? Are there any memoranda there that Mr. Towey could clarify for us?
