Noel Dempsey (Meath, Fianna Fail)

I am saying this is covered by section 14. It is also covered in section 24, which deals with cases, which both Deputies cited, relating to unauthorised disclosure of information by directors or a CEO. I do not disagree with the point generally but it is not a debate for this Bill specifically. Rather, it should be the subject of a wider debate on people who are in specified positions for a certain length of time, including Ministers, senior civil servants and local authority officials. There should be a lapse in time before such people can work in a private sector position where their duties are related to their former public duties.
