Mary Henry (Independent)

I am at a bit of a loss having heard Senator Leyden's remarks. I am not quite sure which members of the board will have legal qualifications. I suppose they could easily be from the Irish Insurance Federation, the Irish Business and Employers Confederation or the Irish Congress of Trade Unions. I pointed out earlier that there will be nobody with medical qualifications on the board, such as nurses, unless it appoints someone useful in this respect from the Irish Congress of Trade Unions.

There is a certain amount of merit in Senator Coghlan's amendment. The Minister of State might consider it given that he will consider mine in the Lower House.
