Feargal Quinn (Independent)

I move amendment No. 19:

In page 13, subsection (3), line 6, to delete "6" and substitute "5".

This is a follow-up to my earlier amendments about the size of the board. With a board of 12, which is my preferred number, a quorum of six is too large. Five is an adequate number for a board of 14. It is often the case that, the larger the membership, the more difficult it is to assemble a quorum. We have discovered that in these Houses on occasion. If we are to change the size of the board, we should consider changing the size of the quorum. Even if the size of the board is not changed, a quorum of five is sufficient.
