Industrial Development (Science Foundation Ireland) Bill 2002: Committee and Remaining Stages.
2:30 pm
Joe O'Toole (Independent)
I agree with what Senator McCarthy said and have committed to it. However, I have often been in a room full of people articulating that view yet, when they have the opportunity of nominating, they suddenly forget it. Even though I agree with Senator McCarthy, there is a difficulty in that one cannot say more than is in the Bill. If the only person considered suitable for a position is male does one instead choose a woman who is unsuitable? One must try to create role models.
