Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Chairperson Designate

Mr. Gareth Llewellyn:

When taking on a non-executive role, the amount of time you put in is always far more than originally specified. That is just the way it is. In part, that is down to how a non-executive normally operates. You want to make the biggest contribution you can. The original expectation was a day a week. I have spent the past three days on TII, so that is three weeks in one go. It will, of course, vary. Sometimes I will be working remotely and sometimes in person. At the moment, I am frustrated that the Covid restrictions on both sides will constrain my ability to get out on-site and do the travelling the Chairman referred to, which is a core part of learning the business early on. If we can get out of the pandemic quickly, I will be spending more time over there learning about the business.
