Ms Laura Burke:

Absolutely. The advisory committee is really useful to the agency but its members are appointed by the Minister and it is out of our gift. The audit and risk committee is within our gift, as one can see on page 68 there. We specifically asked somebody from outside the State to be on the audit and risk committee and that is Mr. Allan Reid who is from the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency. One sees similar issues and challenges and we have found that beneficial.
