Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

The person has been nominated and appointed by the Government. He will have to go before the committee and, I assume, on the basis of what I said earlier, all such persons will have the necessary credentials and competencies and will present those credentials in a fitting manner at the Oireachtas committees. That will bring about an openness and transparency and provide an opportunity for people who want to serve to present their credentials in a proper manner. As I said earlier, I believe to the Deputy, if somebody in that position were to completely flop, as it were, the Government would have to take that into account.
