Michael Noonan (Limerick City, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

As Deputy Boyd Barrett stated, this amendment was discussed on Committee Stage. At that stage I indicated that I accepted the principle behind the amendment. This would require the board oversight committee to provide its opinion in writing regarding any action or decision of a director which it considered to be in conflict with the relevant part of the Act. My officials are discussing this with the Attorney General's office with a view to an amendment being brought forward to this effect.
