The BIM Board comprises, Ms Rose McHugh, Chairman, Mr. Enda Bonner, Mr. Seamus Dooley and Mr. Bobby Molloy. I have set out below the experience and connections that the board members have with the fishing industry. The members of the BIM Board have a broad range of experiences and knowledge to ensure that the board can effectively oversee the delivery of BIM's responsibilities. These include critical management and financial experience as well as direct links with the fishing industry. It is important that BIM's Board comprise members with the necessary broad range of knowledge and experience to effectively carry out its remit as set down.
