Mr. David Moloney:

These are individual HR issues. I can tell the Deputy the same conversation has been had in another situation. In the code of practice for State bodies we say there can be two five-year terms for CEOs. That is the policy position. We believe that reflects good governance practice, in that the person could be the head of an organisation for ten years and then we would provide fresh thinking and a change for all those good organisational reasons. That is what drives the policy position as set out in the code of practice. The legislation is as it is and under the legislation a contract of indefinite duration can be triggered under certain circumstances. The legislation also allows that situation to be managed in such a way that a contract of indefinite duration is not triggered. We fully respect the legislation and people's rights under it, but the legislation does provide a framework that can be managed in a way to avoid the creation of a contract of indefinite duration. Mostly, that implies just following the code, which specifies two five-year terms and completion.
