Mr. Terence O'Rourke:

No, it is a very useful exercise. If board members are uncomfortable with anything, it is their time to say that something is not going right. In both ESB and Enterprise Ireland, we learned lessons from those self-evaluation questionnaires. We highlighted issues that needed to be dealt with and where we needed to make changes in procedures, and they have been implemented successfully. I think it is an effective way. External evaluation is a very good way as well, and our next evaluation will be an external evaluation.
