I am very encouraged by what the Tánaiste has said. I agree with him about Deputy Stanton's solution. I know the Deputy has introduced it as a kind of compromise solution, but I think it is actually a superior solution rather than a compromise one. It allows the board to have access to the expertise of the Secretary General but keeps that separation between the board and the Secretary General as well. That is a viable proposal and I am fully in favour of it.
