On amendment No. 23, one of the nominations should come from the Irish Congress of Trade Unions. It has a representative role for people working in the sector but it is also very important that the interests of homeowners are reflected. As a representative body of union members, it reflects the interests of homeowners as well as people working in the industry, in that broader policy context as a social partner. That is a useful way of ensuring there is some structured representation on the board. The amendments from Deputy Ó Broin on this are very good and I would be happy with those proposals as well.
