I want to simplify it for the public. We need to bear in mind that we are talking to the public here. I know the board was established under an establishment order, as set out in SI 246/2007. Can Mr. Farragher explain to the public what that means in plain English? People understand that a company has shares, is limited by guarantee or runs a community employment scheme. Is the board simply a committee of people? What is its legal status in terms of company law? Is the board a company under company law?
