Public Accounts Committee

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration

11:10 am

Mr. Paul Kiely:

I can tell the Deputy that the category of members is kind of in loco shareholders - the board of governors, if you like, would report to the members, who receive the report of the governors at the AGM. The members have the right to nominate members of the board. The board themselves have the right to nominate members of the board. By a written legal agreement with the Mater Hospital that dates back to the late 1970s or early 1980s, the Mater Hospital has the right to nominate two people to the board.
