Ms Marion Kelly:

The intention of the IBCB is that we will continue to use secondees on an ad hocbasis for certain expertise, but we wish to have a permanent secretariat. The intention is to hire full-time staff, including the chief executive. As Deputy Michael McGrath mentioned, I am the acting chief executive on secondment from Bank of Ireland. We will hold an open competition and place an advertisement in the newspapers in the coming month to six weeks to recruit a permanent chief executive.
