Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

——that what I have argued for in amendment No. 5 is provided for in the Bill, I will be most happy. However, this does not appear to be the case. In order to ensure it is open to every citizen, the position should be publicly advertised so that the most suitable people can compete and be considered. There should be a clear understanding of the requirements regarding qualification. This is a very reasonable proposition. I look forward to the Minister of State's response because he is biting at the bit to get going like a greyhound at Shelbourne Park. I will listen to what he has to say in reply and if he satisfies what I am trying to achieve, I will be the first to welcome it.
