In section 14, page 12, between lines 32 and 33, the following subsection was inserted: "(8) The Minister shall, in so far as is practicable, endeavour to ensure that among the members of the Authority there is an equitable balance between men and women". Section 14 has been amended to address the issue of male-female representation on the authority. Senator Quinn tabled an amendment along these lines and though I did not accept it at the time, I said I would think about it. This amendment is substantially the same as the Senator's. It is important to recognise there is no existing statutory provision around the gender issue in so far as the main tourism development agencies are concerned. This amendment addresses the issue in legislation for the very first time. If I exclude the chairpersons, there are 25 ordinary members on the combined boards of Bord Fáilte and CERT and ten are women. In other words, 40% of the ordinary members of the combined boards are women.
