I move amendment No. 2:

In page 6, between lines 29 and 30, to insert the following:“(a) makes, manages or directs the making of any relevant communications to any member of Government in relation to appointments to State Boards,”.

There are 19 amendments in this group, most of which are in my name and deal with what should be captured under the legislation. I will not be excessively repetitive when speaking on each of the amendments, because most of them deal with the same point. Following the Minister's response to what I will now say, I understand I will have two minutes to reply, or just over six seconds per amendment. I am sure even the Minister will agree that this is somewhat farcical.
