First, I apologise on behalf of the House for the late start here today. The Government Deputies chose not to turn up to create a quorum. It shows their commitment to the Dáil reform of scheduling questions for 9.30 a.m. I apologise to the people watching this on television. It should not be the case.

Will the Minister ensure greater transparency and independence in the appointment of persons to State boards and make a detailed statement on the matter?
