Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 28:

In page 15, to delete lines 1 to 4.

This amendment was proposed by Deputy Shortall on Committee Stage and on further consideration I decided to accept it. The effect of the amendment is to remove the restriction on the chief executive officer commenting on or criticising Government policy while giving evidence to committees of the Dáil. We should all be big enough not to restrict people in that regard. I have no difficulty with that.
