It was suggested last week that for checks and balances or to get outside expertise, we would not need an advisory council but that the Heritage Council could be used instead. What is An Taisce's view on that? Would the Heritage Council be sufficient to get the expertise referred to by Dr. Clinton?

It is a very valid point. If people have expertise, they should use it. Is the Heritage Council good enough or do we need an advisory council?
