Joe O'Toole (Independent)

On behalf of the Independent group, I express appreciation to the Leader for the efficient manner in which the question of committee membership was dealt with in the past week. It has helped enormously. It is important this House should take the lead on this matter. I have discussed it with many people in the other House, all of whom agreed with me on this, demonstrating that we must examine the structures and technical details of the decisions taken in other places.
