My questions are on the opinions of our two guests in respect of the authorised officers at the IHRB and their qualifications. Is it true the authorised officers do not have to have a professional qualification before being appointed as an authorised officer? If that is the case, do they agree this is not appropriate and we should have people who, at least, have a university qualification before they are appointed as authorised officers? Is there an IHRB training manual for the authorised officers? If there is one, is it available publicly?
