Section 35 concerns the transfer of existing staff, a matter about which the Minister has spoken. Inevitably, however, once the two organisations are merged there will be a certain overlap or duplication in administration. I was interested to note that the Minister had discussed the issue with the trade unions concerned. I have spoken to people involved in Tourism Ireland who expressed the view that the development of their authority was hindered by the lack of consultation with the trade unions prior to its establishment. I hope the Minister has learned from this and that he will consult the trade unions affected in both organisations before the new authority is set up.
