Mr. John Cregan:

The first press release by the HSE indicated that Boardmatch Ireland would be engaged to assist in the process. It was advertised on the website.

Any opportunity I got, I told people the board of management was assisting in the process. The skills of the individual candidates matching the requirements of the organisation were assessed and ultimately, the appointments were made by the members of the company. As I said already, this involved arranging with the members of the company that resolutions be passed appointing those people. The process is not yet complete. As Mr. Timmins already said, there will be further vacancies and rotations and there will be constant updating of the skills of board members from now on.
