Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of Ireland Bill 2003: Committee Stage
4:00 pm
Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)
The draftsman has clearly been inspired by the senatorial provisions into importing this amendment into the legislation. The criteria set out by the Minister are knowledge or experience as consumers of financial services. If I am right the qualification for a Seanad panel, set out in the Constitution, is not just knowledge and mere experience but knowledge and practical experience.
