On the second point Ms Doyle made about the Committee of Agriculture, Food and the Marine having a welfare representative on the committee, the committee is made up of Members of the Oireachtas. It has Dáil and Seanad representatives. It has no external members of the Oireachtas. I am open to correction but I believe that is how it is set up in the Constitution to be put in place. I wonder how we could work with that kind of proposal. A constitutional amendment potentially would be required. How practical would that be? What issues would there be?
