In my view, local authority members would be excellent members of the commission, if so appointed. A member of the commission who becomes a member of a local authority should be allowed to complete his or her term on the commission. This emphasis on getting rid of local authority members from various bodies has been appearing quite frequently in legislation. It was always the case that Members of the Oireachtas and the European Parliament and, of course, Ministers would be deemed ineligible to serve on State boards. There is now a tendency to exclude all elected public representatives from holding such positions. That approach should be reviewed. In the context of the Bill, members of local authorities should not be excluded from serving as commissioners, positions for which they are well qualified. The fact that they stood for election to public office should not result in their being deemed ineligible to serve as commissioners. In my opinion, it would enhance their role in that regard.
