National Tourism Development Authority Bill, 2002: Committee Stage.
In the business world it is a widely accepted principle that in companies which are publicly accountable there should be a clear separation between the roles of chairman and chief executive. The case for this separation is even stronger in State bodies. I have suggested amendments previously which would directly close off this possibility but I am advised that this somewhat roundabout wording is the proper way to do it. For the exact wording I am once again indebted to the Digital Hub Development Agency Bill. I got it from there and I am sure the Minister would not like to be out of line with what happened earlier today.
