Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)

What is funny is all the numbers followed by the philosophical twist. In respect of amendment No. 149, section 179(3) of the Bill provides that the board members of RTE and TG4 are appointed by the Government under the Broadcasting Authority Act 1960, as amended, or under the Broadcasting Act 2001 may continue to serve as board members of RTE or TG4 for the unexpired period or for their terms of employment. Amendment No. 149 is a minor drafting amendment to ensure clarity in the text of section 179(3). I would love to hear the views of the Deputies opposite on "to be or not to be".
