Gerard Craughwell: You are telling me that the Member who proposes the first amendment in this group can speak a second time, but not others. This is the problem with grouping. It makes a situation where you have ruled us out from making our point.

Gerard Craughwell: I am not going to speak about defence other than to thank the Minister for delivering €500 million in funding for the period up to 2028. I am waiting for the fine detail but I congratulate the Minister on that. He has put a lot into it. I know I give him a hard time now and then but that is the nature of politics. Credit where credit is due. I have a few questions about the...

- Seanad: Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (6 Jul 2022)
Gerard Craughwell: The Minister is dead right as anybody who was appointed to a board in this country is subject to scrutiny from either within this House, the Lower House or anywhere else one may wish to mention in society in general. I wish to put on the record, however, that chairpersons of boards are frequently brought in before Oireachtas committees and we have absolutely no say in whether their...
