Unfortunately, the record is peppered with such incidents. This does not just apply to Fianna Fáil, it also applies to Fine Gael, the Labour Party, Democratic Left and the Progressive Democrats. There is a ruthless tendency to appoint friends to such positions. There was the situation in the VHI, with which the Minister will be undoubtedly familiar, which was full of members and supporters of the Fine Gael Party and supporters of the Minister for Health and Children. It is time to end this phenomenon. There would be a great opportunity, if the Minister for Transport, Deputy Brennan, took my suggestion on board, in the case of Aer Rianta where two appointments must be made. He should make them in such a way that he could not be accused of appointing members or supporters of the party. He has the opportunity in the midst of this controversy.
