Mr. Gavin Lawlor:

I disagree with Ms Uí Bhroin. I do not think it is meant to be developers but people like those in Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII. Infrastructure delivery, as it is meant in the development world, is roads, pipes, and that type of stuff. Developers would not generally have that experience; it would be in local government and semi-State bodies like TII and the National Transport Authority, NTA. Those who would have expertise in infrastructure delivery would be people who have built a road or a pipe. Is that necessary or appropriate for the board? I would not think it is anywhere near as important as having a lawyer, ecologist or archaeologist on board. I agree with Ms Uí Bhroin about "expertise". I do not consider the current phrasing is useful.
