Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)

I would love to see how the person would be selected. I will not accept the amendment because the board has not been established to have representatives of either branch of the legal profession. The PIAB will have in-house legal expertise and its board will have legal expertise. If Senator Henry was here – I hope I am not misrepresenting her – she could argue that the Irish Medical Organisation or the Irish Nurses Organisation should be represented on the board, while engineers could argue they should be represented on the board.
