How the boards operate

It is envisaged that both boards will meet bi-monthly. The chairs have been elected from the membership at the early meetings.

Board members will conduct themselves according to the Nolan Principles.

Board members with -

  • personal
  • commercial
  • financial interests

in any agenda items will declare them at the relevant points on the agenda. They will not participate in votes on those items.

Members complete and update their published Registers of Interest upon appointment. They must do this at least on an annual basis as per officer’s requests.
