National Tourism Development Authority Bill, 2002: Committee Stage.

 

We have thrown out clauses like this before. Last year there was a clause exactly like this. It was spotted, I am glad to say, on the independent benches by Senator O'Toole. The Minister of the day, on having his attention drawn to how out of date and out of line it was with openness and transparency and with normal democracy, agreed to withdraw it. I am sure the present Minister, when he sees it, will wonder how it got into the Bill and be happy to withdraw it.
