Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 6:

In page 32, line 20, after "decides" to insert ", at least 40 per cent of whom shall be male and at least 40 per cent female".

The amendment addresses the composition of the board and proposes that at least 40% of its members shall be male and female, respectively. The proposal would satisfy equality legislation and the Government's stated intention as regards equality.
