I would like the Minister turn to that intention into them having to do it. They should not have any choice but to publish the salaries of senior members. A huge number of people contacted me about that. I have no doubt they contacted every member of the committee. One of the most frustrating things is that this is seen as a kind of boys' club. I am glad that there is gender balance now. I would like to see the IHRB appointing even more females to its board. I ask the Minister, his officials and the Department to insist that this not be an intention and that the body should have to publish the salaries.

Has the Department carried out, or does it have any plans to carry out, a review of the current legislation relating to the statutory functions of the IHRB?
