I don't fully know the background of Prof.Brennan or what she does for the HSE, but given that she's done work for the Government before, that might indicate where here loyalties might be. With regards to the comment about bank directors doing a good job, my recent post here (http://www.valueireland.com/2008/10/brian-lenihans-pointless-idea-to-nominate-directors-to-bank-boards/) shows just how pointless it'll be to put other directors on the banks boards. Given what's described there, it's technically correct to say that bank directors can probably be said to be doing a good job. It's the Chief Executives and senior management that we should probably be more worried about. Thanks for your comment Davy.

Think she is/was on the board of a major bank. She seemed to think bank directors do a good job anyway and said directors have to act in the best interests of the company ie the new directors appointed by the Minister couldn't look after the interests of us little people. Did she ever work in the real world or is she just an academic? She is on the HSE Board...HSE paid out €1 million last month for bonuses for 10 managers. Did prof brennan recommend this?
