Michael Creed (Cork North West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I told the Deputy, who chose to ignore it, about the not insignificant fact of the outcome of a court finding last week in respect of this matter.

In respect of the appointees, a clear skill set requirement was communicated to the Public Appointments Service as to the appropriate people required in respect of the industry. I am absolutely satisfied that the people who were appointed are more than well qualified to bring a unique and very valuable set of skills in respect of corporate governance and affairs and human resources experience to the board, of which the Deputy has been very critical in the past arguing that it did not have sufficient knowledge in the area of corporate governance.
