I wish to indicate that I will be tabling an amendment because I believe the governing body needs other representation. For example, the trade unions will be anxious about this one. With respect to the communities where the institutes have been located, I know the extent of the relationship they have had with communities. I would like to see that community social environment also represented. Is there not a role for the local authorities to be represented on the governing body? My experience in Dublin is that the local authority does have a significant role to play.
