Text
There is an application process and an interview process. At that point, the names of candidates who, according to the selection panel, have passed the interview process are presented to me by my officials for appointment. Nineteen candidates passed the interview process and were put forward for appointment. As I have said clearly to other Members, all five were deemed to be appointable on the basis that they added value to the Invest NI board and would bring different experience to it. The 14 others remain on a list for potential appointment for up to a year. The process was followed robustly, and I stand over it fully.
