Mr. Michael O'Keeffe:

We have structured the organisation in terms of how we operate. Given the nature of the numbers we have, we operate a matrix structure where effectively people work across different aspects of the organisation. I will offer one straightforward example. The director of engineering is also the head of compliance and supports the work of the compliance committee. My colleague, Margaret Tumelty, is dealing with the development of the statement of strategy and she will shortly consider the development of the code of programme standards. The staff work right across the organisation depending on the priorities within the work plan in a given year.
