Mr. Miche?l ? Conaire:

The target has been set for end of year. As of June, the number of overall women at NGB and board level is at 39% on average, so it is increasing all the time. At this point in time, we will wait for the end-of-year figures. The Minister has been clear that there will be some funding implications for bodies that do not meet the target. That is where it stands at the moment. We will have to review the figures when we see them. I certainly do not want to pre-empt anything. We have been quite clear on what the target is and bodies have had it flagged to them for three or four years. We expect people to meet the target.
