I will go by the ruling of the Chair and just say on this that if Deputy Boyd Barrett has an issue with the quorum or the operation of the board structurally, and I mean this seriously, I cannot see how it would fit in with the Bill to be honest. I really do not. It is open to the Deputy to table an amendment. It would probably be better to deal with this by way of a separate Private Members' Bill. I get his point, but, to be honest, I do not think it would be appropriate to deal with it in this Bill. There are mechanisms open to the Deputy should he wish to progress this matter. I would be happy to engage with him on it.
