He has not been officially appointed. The process is that he must first come before this committee. There is then a resolution of the Dáil and the Seanad following that meeting. That is the procedure. It is a recommendation from the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform which is agreed by Cabinet and it comes to us. The secretariat will issue the framework for the meeting, the context in which it takes place, our responsibilities as members and suggestions of the types of issue that we should raise and ask about. We will issue that to members in good time.
