Imelda Munster: The point is, we are where we are because the board came to the Department and flagged how restrictive the scheme was but no action was taken. The board in utter frustration resigned in its entirety. The Department is advertising for new boards. Mr. Hogan does not think that they got anyone in the first tranche and the second there are three who are intended and five are needed.

Imelda Munster: But Mr. Hogan can understand the frustration that it is only now the Department is undertaking a review, that is, it took for people to take it to the courts and for the board to resign and still the review is not finished. That is the point that I am making.
