National Cultural Institutions (National Concert Hall) Bill 2014: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Simon Taylor:

If I may add one thing which has been missed but which is very important. Currently the board of the National Concert Hall is appointed in entirety every five years. In the legislation it is proposed to introduce a degree of board rotation, which means we will have a much better governance paradigm where we will have proper rotation of the board and not a completely new start every five years. That is independent from the size of the board but simply from an operational point of view this makes much more business sense and I welcome it.
