I read Mr. Bourke's opening statement when it arrived. It is clear that Mr. Bourke is an experienced solicitor with plenty of exposure to large clients. The fact that he did the initial public offering, IPO, for Aer Lingus means he had some exposure to aviation prior to his appointment, although he acknowledges he does not come from an aviation background. Our job today is to examine his suitability as a chair. I do not doubt it for a second. However, will he give us some insight into what kind of chairing experience he has, if any?
