Ms Angela Denning:

There are. The legislation establishing the Courts Service sets out the composition of the board. A number of judges are on it as representatives of each of the courts and there is a nominee elected by the judges of each of the courts. I am a member of the board and the chairman of the Bar Council is on it at the moment, as is the president of the Law Society. A staff member, elected by the staff of the Courts Service, is there and there is a nominee of the Department of Justice and Equality. We have a nominee to represent the consumers of the Courts Service, who works for a family law NGO, while there is somebody representing ICTU and somebody with relevant business knowledge and experience of commerce and financial administration.
