It is just useful for people looking in to realise that it is a totally transparent process.

Mr. Llewellyn became aware of the vacancy, he put his name forward, his CV was considered along with, I am sure, many other people's and here we are. I wish to bring to bear all his experience, the mix of public and private both in the UK and abroad, on a few of the points I wish to raise, in particular what he thinks he might bring to the role in trying to speed up the never-ending saga that is the Luas extension and MetroLink. Parts of north Dublin, the airport and so on are crying out for that and it seems it is disappearing further into the future every week or every month. When does Mr. Llewellyn see the first passenger on MetroLink, and is there anything he can do to speed up that process or any interventions he can make that may help speed it up?
