The Board and Chief Executive are committed to the promotion of equality of opportunity by the CITB NI.  Additionally CITB NI is fully committed to the fulfillment of its statutory obligations, under Section 75 of the Northern Ireland Act, for the promotion of equality of opportunity and good relations.
