Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail)

There is no major science to it. We are moving towards a different method of board selection and the agencies are directly within our remit. There are different restrictions around the commercial semi-State bodies. I would point out that the director general will be around the board table and will, as happens currently, have a direct role in the input of the board activities. He can and will be in a position to reflect the views of the staff.
