Three members of the authority have resigned in the past 15 months; Mr. Terry Calvani, Dr. John Fingleton and Mr. Edward Henneberry. There are currently two vacancies on the authority. The Public Appointments Service has commenced a recruitment process in order to fill these vacancies as soon as possible. However, given that they are highly specialised and senior posts, this process involves executive searches to source suitably qualified candidates for competitive interview.
