Mr. Joe Hamill:

I would say that has happened over the years. In the last number of years, quite a lot of appointments that were made to boards came out of people being asked to submit expressions of interest. That was not universally the case. It was the case in many instances. In one case involving Údarás na Gaeltachta, we went through a very formal process with the Public Appointments Service so there are different ways of doing it.
