Ms Niamh Muldoon:

I can certainly do that. Any decision of the council is binding regardless of who sits at the table, as long as the meeting is quorate. All members of the council wear public interest hats when they sit at the table. They do not carry their own interests. They do not peddle their own vested interests. They sit there as a regulator wearing public interest hats. They bring their particular expertise and experience to bear.
