Houses of the Oireachtas Commission Bill 2002: Committee Stage.
The point was made strongly on Second Stage by Senator O'Toole that there are now worker-directors, staff members and workers on all State and semi-State bodies. It is logical that the commission would have a representative of the staff of the Houses of the Oireachtas. I have reflected on the matter in the meantime but the more I reflect on it, the less I know about how it will work because we have so many different elements and grades including administrative staff, ushers, messengers and so on. I would like to hear the Minister's response but it is not my wont to push this amendment to a vote.
