Houses of the Oireachtas Commission Bill 2002: Second Stage.
I very much share the concern, voiced by Senator O'Toole, that staff are not represented on the commission. When I read that, I could not believe it. We fought here for years to get farmers' representatives, consumers' representatives and staff on to boards of semi-State and State bodies, in which we were successful. That is taken as read. I cannot understand why there is no staff representative on the commission; I find it incomprehensible.
