No, I would just point out that section 50 adequately fits the issue in hand here. I have listened to both Deputies. I am wondering what type of reason is envisaged. What might the reason be and in what form might the publication take? Deputy O'Callaghan gave an example of the appointment of his colleague, Deputy Jack Chambers, but what kind of reason would he see as being appropriate should Deputy Chambers not be the subject of a recommendation? In what detail would the notice be required? I am concerned that we will have entered constraining territory, from the Government's point of view and constitutionally.
