Ms Orla O'Connor:

I might come in there. The composition of the board is a very important issue and we feel the way it is worded in the draft is not strong enough. It does not acknowledge the expertise that is there. We want the board to be reflective of that expertise. As currently worded, it could be very limited. It needs to have people from the sector who have worked on gender-based violence and the entire board needs to have knowledge and expertise in the area. That will have to involve training as well given that, presumably, other people will be brought on in respect of governance issues. This needs to be stated in the legislation but it is currently very weak. I fully support the Deputy raising the issue. We certainly want the wording to be amended.
