Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It is a very important role and Mr. Lane will be one of only six people on the executive board. It is good to have an Irish person among the six key decision makers at the European Central Bank. He was a very good appointment to the Central Bank of Ireland a number of years ago. We have not yet had a chance to decide what procedure will be used to select a new Governor of the Central Bank. I anticipate that there will be a proper process involving an advertisement in order that people can apply for the job and that there will be a system of interviews, but the procedure to be used has not yet been decided.
