Arthur Morgan (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I move amendment No. 18:

In page 12, to delete lines 1 to 8 and substitute the following:

"(2) The Members of An Foras shall be nominated by the Minister, after having received recommendations from the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment and after consultation with the Minister for Education and Science and the Minister for Social and Family Affairs, from among persons who have experience of, and expertise in matters connected with—".

The Minister of State indicated earlier that he is amenable to accepting the thrust of this group of amendments. If this is the case, I will immediately bow to other speakers and hear from the Minister of State.
