I am not questioning Mr. Meaney's record prior to coming into Bord na gCon. I am saying that it is a great pity that a prominent member of Fine Gael was interviewed by a Fine Gael Minister and given the job without any vetting procedure whatsoever. The Government-dominated Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine does not want to interview Mr. Meaney. He is sitting here not subject to the procedures to which other members of the board, which we have gone through, were subjected.
