Mr. Graham Doyle:
People are appointed to bodies in a range of circumstances. Quite often it goes through the PAS. I am not sure if that happened in that particular case. Usually, what happens in that process is that a list of eligible people who have met certain criteria is put forward to the Minister. At that point it is the Minister's choice.
