No. The appropriate mechanism to ensure the board is included is to request the Department of Finance to provide for its inclusion in the next list of additions to the Schedule to the Act. It will be done by statutory instrument rather than by primary legislation. A similar issue arose in the case of the Grangegorman Development Agency Bill. While individual Departments submit lists of bodies to be included, the Department of Finance makes the determination. As soon as the board is established, its name will be submitted to the Department of Finance for inclusion in the list.
