I move amendment No. 8:

In page 6, between lines 6 and 7, to insert the following:“Amendment of section 9 of the Act of 2003

6. Section 9 of the Act of 2003 is amended by deleting subsection (11) and replacing it with:

“(11) The Minister shall ensure that there are not fewer than four men and four women in the composition of the Board,”.”.

I am conscious that SFI has generally met the 40% representation provision at all times, however everybody agrees, across parties, that we should try to get 50-50 representation of male and female members on the board and we should start inserting this into legislation.
