Seanad: Children's Health Bill 2018: Committee and Remaining Stages (19 Sep 2018)

Máire Devine: I move amendment No. 42:In page 15, line 31, to delete “or a local authority”. I do not see why a member of a local authority would be barred from membership of the board nor do I believe any Member of this House would want that.
