Sub-committee of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges: Motion (Resumed).
I have noted the views of Members. Of the educational people, Senator Ross took the Chair before you were appointed, a Chathaoirligh, and he said it should all change. He would say, "Be gone" to the Taoiseach's nominees and the vocational groups elected by the local authorities, but he never mentioned his own area, the University Panel. Then somebody else stood up and spoke just about the University Panel but not about how they got here, apart from the fact that it was an arduous route. It is clear that there are many vested interests all around the House, and I fully understand that. This will not be a simple theorem where the formula comes out QED and one size fits all. That cannot be, but there is a need.
