I have the power under the Bill to appoint board members. In a previous Ministry I had the opportunity to appoint a full board de novo and I appointed a team with different skills and voices representing a balanced overview of the area they looked after. In this instance, the board will cover the entire sector and, therefore, I would like to appoint people with a knowledge of different aspects of the third level sector. The reason I am not nominating stakeholders is, for example, if the Irish Universities Association nominates someone, the person will feel he or she has to represent the views of that organisation. If people have a knowledge of the sector but are appointed in their own right, they will not necessarily be beholden to the university sector or the sectors they come from. I hope to reflect the entire spectrum of the education system and that students, administrators, staff and academics will be able to recognise a kindred spirit or somebody who at least understands their role in the higher education system. I assure the House no thought has been given to the composition of the board.
