I welcome Mr. Coleman and Mr. O'Rourke. I think this is the first time they have been before the committee since the Land Development Agency Act was passed. It is significant legislation and many members of this committee and Deputies in the Dáil voted against it because they did not want the LDA to be a delivery mechanism. That is a policy difference. We are now in the implementation phase.

I have some questions for Mr. O'Rourke and others related to the LDA more broadly to which Mr. Coleman may wish to respond. Can Mr. O'Rourke confirm that he was appointed in an open competition process? Will he also confirm the salary for the position of chairperson?
