Regarding Senator Mansergh's point, there is no hidden agenda. The subsection to section 12 provides the flexibility required to cover circumstances in which an independent expert, health board member or local authority official was required to attend a particular committee. If this issue does not arise, the regulations will not be made regarding these additional categories of persons. There is a great deal of confusion about this section and what is meant by Government. Some people may be misinterpreting the language in the Bill. Senator Mansergh gave the example of the Taoiseach representing the Government at the partnership talks, in which case he is the Government for that purpose. The Senator gave the further example of an ambassador who may also be the Government in his particular circumstances.
