On the make-up of the board, I want to ask both organisations if they have a view as to what changes should be made to it as currently proposed. There has been a great deal of discussion in that regard. We discussed the so-called grey list of frowned-upon activities, as opposed to the black of list of prohibited activities, with witnesses in our earlier session. The IFA representative was very firmly of the view that the grey list activities should also be blacklisted. I note in the Macra submission an indication that we should go beyond that.

What is the view of the witnesses on whether those grey lists should be black lists and whether any other specific practices could be prohibited in primary legislation?
