It is amendment No. 3. Senator Ó Domhnaill's amendment No. 14 concerns board members stepping down immediately once their term ends.

The board will have to take into account the skill gaps that have to be filled at any point in time. This provision allows time to find a suitably qualified board member to fill that gap.
