I will revert to the Deputy.

Mr. O'Brien stated that his resignation was essentially for family reasons. With regard to the timing and advertisement, it is a matter for a Government decision so we will revert to Deputy Niall Collins on that point.

I note the points made by the Members opposite concerning one or three commissioners. The Government has set out its position on Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn's amendment and is not prepared to change its position in light of the further submission made by the Deputy. The Minister stated that it is something she will keep under review in dealing with the amendment before us.
