Tony Sheil , immediate Past President of the DSBA, previously served on the Council as a DSBA nominee for the year 1991/92.

He suggests that there should be a sharper distinction between the Society's representative and regulatory roles and suggests that the Society's representative functions j should be operated from the premises at I Blackhall Place and the regulatory I functions from a separate premises.
