Noel Dempsey (Meath, Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 75:

In page 23, between lines 19 and 20, to insert the following:

"2C. Where there is more than one member of the Commission the Minister may direct that the position as Chairperson of the Commission may be held by different members of the Commission on a rotating basis as determined by a direction from the Minister.".

The current chairperson is in office for approximately another two years and that arrangement will apply following the expiry of his term of office. That does not need to be included in the amendment but I want to inform the House.
