Mr. Cathal Duffy:

The position on this is the recommendations of the IRG were quite explicit about the membership of the oversight body. It provided for an independent chair, five independent members with relevant expertise, as the Deputy mentioned, an overseas member who has undertaken significant successful transformation and the Secretary General of the Department. It is important to note the IRG report was clear this is an external oversight body and is, therefore, independent. It is external to and independent of the Defence Forces. As I said, the recommendations about the membership of the body were quite clear. They were accepted by Government and it is on that basis we have set out in the general scheme what the membership is.
