National Tourism Development Authority Bill, 2002: Committee Stage.
I do not believe I will get much support for this amendment and I am not likely to push it to a vote. However, I would like it included in the Bill because it is the correct way forward. If we are talking about excluding elected members from State bodies, we should start at local rather than at national level. I understand why we do not permit elected Members of this House to sit on State bodies. We should extend that downwards rather than upwards.
