Dr. McGowan outlined the regulatory role - the efficient spending of resources to ensure delivery according to the objective of the organisation. To do that, however, the commission must have some expertise in the areas of health and safety and environmental risk. He might talk to us about that function within his organisation. While the commission does not have primary responsibility, and bearing in mind that managing the risk is such an important part of what ESB and ESB Networks do, how are responsibilities discharged?
