Eoin Ó Broin (Dublin Mid West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I accept that but I am saying that notwithstanding the general practice, because we have had cases in the previous Oireachtas where the general practice was not adhered to in another Department and it caused some controversy if Mr. Lemass remembers, if it is not stipulated the Public Appointments Service must be used, a Minister is then free to appoint somebody outside of that if he or she so chooses. That is not a good practice.
