    Gary Fair, Director of the Department for Regional Development Shareholder Unit, responds to some questions about NI Water's interim board. Don Price continues as a NED from the previous board. September 9 update: George Savage has put the following question down for answer on September 21: "To ask the Minister for Regional Development, pursuant to AQW 8094/10, whether any conflicts of interest arose between members of the interviewing panel and the interviewees; and whether declarations of any kind were made during the nine interviews." Does this relate to Paul Priestly's participation in the New York conference on June 9-10, 2010, a conference organised by Máirtín Ó Muilleoir's Belfast Media Group/Irish Echo? Ó Muilleoir was named as a new NI Water NED at the end of June.

    Reply to email dated August 6, 2010

    You have previously been in correspondence with X on some issues regarding the appointment of interims to
    NI Water. X is on leave now, so I am responding on her behalf. I have highlighted your questions in red.

    Can you please list the six NEDs and the respective categories under which each has been appointed to the
    interim Board?

    Firstly I should point out that there were only 5 interim appointments in total.
    1. Padraic White under the NED1 “Chair” category.

    2. Peter Bunting & Mairtin O’Muilleoir under the NED 2 “community confidence” category.

    3. Kevin Steele under the NED 3 “commercial and business acumen” category.

    4. Lawson McDonald under the NED 4 “public sector governance” category.

    Were the seven principles of public appointments used in the selection of the candidates, in particular the
    principle of diversity?

    Of the six NEDs, how many would be classified as 'unionist' and how many 'nationalist'?

    The Minister and the Panel were mindful of each of these principles in the selection of candidates. While I
    could not directly answer how many would be classified as 'unionist' and how many as 'nationalist', any
    political affiliations were noted in the relevant press releases at the time (see below):

    The August 6 letter contained this statement on diversity:

    Diversity
    Currently, the make-up of the boards of our public bodies fails to reflect the make-up of our population. The
    opportunity to appoint the best people is greatly increased when every potential applicant is attracted and
    encouraged to apply and when individual differences are truly valued. Everyone involved in the public
    appointments process has a duty to encourage a pool of applicants as diverse as the people of Northern
    Ireland. By their actions throughout the public appointments process, Departments will demonstrate their
    commitment to this principle.
