The wording of amendment No. 144 is as proposed by the Association of Irish Local Government. I am interested in hearing the Minister's response to the concern expressed by Deputy O'Callaghan. I think that the Minister's amendment resolves the problem and addresses the broader issue of boards of directors, etc. I am less concerned than Deputy O'Callaghan but I would like to hear from the Minister. If the Minister's response is adequate on the passing of amendment No. 142, I would be probably more than content to withdraw amendment No. 144.
