Houses of the Oireachtas Commission Bill 2002: Second Stage.

 

I welcome the fact that the commission will be co-chaired by the Ceann Comhairle and the Cathaoirleach. There needs to be staff representation which I hope will be rectified at some point. In the modern partnership era where staff members are included in all talks with Government, it is ridiculous that there will be no staff representative on the commission. So strongly do I feel about this that I hope to speak to the Minister of State at the Department of Finance, the Minister for Finance and the Taoiseach about it. Staff should nominate a person to sit on the commission. I do not know the reason this is not the case.
