Mr. Graham Doyle:
The planning review that is being undertaken at present in conjunction with the Attorney General is looking at the appointment of board members. The previous recommendation was two members being appointed through open competition. The Minister had formed the view that he would like to have open competition across the board. There is a submission to him shortly, and that is part of this review work that the Attorney General will report on in September, with a view to enacting legislation later in the year.
