Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Future of the Maritime Area Regulatory Authority: Discussion
Dr. Mark Mellett:
It perhaps goes back to a point made by Deputy Ó Broin, but the diverse nature of our board is such in terms of gender balance and skills and expertise means there is a good commercial and environmental NGO perspective there, and also an environmental academic perspective. I am very happy with the team on the board to bring that wisdom that will deliver in terms of the way we develop our work plan but also in taking into account that where trade-offs are needed, they will be done with that intellect at the appropriate level in terms of the structures.
