Ms Hynes said she would come to back to him and he came back to her and confirmed he was not of a mind to reappoint her. It was not personal. He was thanking other chairpersons who had reached the end of their cycle or term and opening up the process to appoint new people. This is no reflection on Ms Hynes or any of the others. However, the Minister got a call from the Taoiseach minutes later. In my view, and Ms Hynes may have a different view, to which she is entitled, that was her lobbying to be reappointed.
