Digital Hub Development Agency Bill, 2002: Committee Stage (Resumed).
Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)
This protects the independence of the office of the chief executive so that they cannot not be put in an invidious position. It may not always happen, but perhaps once in a year a big political issue may be connected with a certain agency so that the chief executive is obliged to answer political questions, which are best left to the politicians. This is not correct.
