Cuirim fáilte roimh na finnéithe agus roimh an gcothromaíocht inscne, atá ag feabhsú an t-am go léir. Mr. Cody has a voice that lulls silence. I thank him for all of his work, and all of the documentation, which I welcome and which I have read. I welcome the gender equality, but it is not reflected in top management. I see we have three wise men in charge. The management is still predominantly male. I make this comment on every organisation. Revenue's number is way up in terms of the percentage, which is interesting. I believe that 62% of staff is female, but this figure is not reflected in management. These are my preliminary comments.
