Mr. John Hughes:

My colleague is on the board of the Health and Safety Authority. She will address that. Generally, the IDA, for which I have the lead responsibility in the Department, changes two of its 12-member board every year. As part of that process, the chair assesses the diversity, including gender, skills and sector knowledge, on the board at a particular moment in time. He engages with the Public Appointments Service and the State board appointments process to ensure, when there is that opportunity every year to refresh two posts on the board, the IDA is as up-to-date on the different skills portfolio as is required. The company secretary happens to be in the room but I think that might address it writ large.
