Digital Hub Development Agency Bill, 2002: Committee Stage (Resumed).

 

I could rise to the bait of Senator Finucane in relation to the Foynes issue. After the last day of the last Government, during the interregnum, all the vacancies on any board in the gift of my Department were stuffed with people who were quite obviously from the political parties. I am not saying they are not entitled to membership. By and large, the people who were appointed were excellent. One such person has been resurrected into the political domain, not in Senator Finucane's party but in another party, following a recent leadership contest. He was obviously rewarded then and is now back in the fold.
