I agree the representatives on the board is an important point. Unfortunately, the Minister, Deputy Hogan, is not here to clarify the position regarding his proposals on that. As I said, it will also involve the Minister, Deputy Rabbitte, but the Deputy's points are well-made. I do not see any reason there will not be a satisfactory conclusion in terms of the principle involved. If that is fair enough, that is as far as I can go.
