Mr. Feargal Ó Coigligh:

It is a requirement of all of us as officials to apply the guidelines we are told to apply. None of us has departed from that so that would be the way it would work. I do not think there have been any appointments to State boards like this that have departed from that, save using the types of exemptions outlined in the guidelines. The guidelines govern the way we work and that would be the intention. I am not sure they are written into any other Act, but that is the way the system works.
