Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

I repeat that I am broadly sympathetic with the point of view articulated by Deputy Durkan. Is the Minister saying this point is sufficiently covered by section 14(10) of the Ethics in Public Office Act 1995 as it relates to the director appointed? That is the thrust of what Deputy Durkan is seeking to achieve. As he stated, there have been isolated cases where people have been alleged to have made information known outside a company. It is important the highest standards of probity apply and there is merit in the amendment seeking to ensure they do.
