I support the amendment proposed by Deputy Calleary and rise to speak to amendment No. 46 which seeks to include "sociology" and "social policy" after "economics" on page 8. In their submission, the National Women's Council of Ireland recognised that it is an area of expertise that should be involved in the decision making process. We support its recommendation that the expertise on social policy should be included. Amendment No. 47 is similar to Deputy Calleary's in that we suggest a low-paid worker would bring invaluable and practical knowledge and expertise to the work of the commission.
