Council of Europe Development Bank Bill 2004: Committee and Remaining Stages.
3:00 pm
Martin Mansergh (Fianna Fail)
I refute in the strongest possible terms any notion of cronyism. This is very much a public service function. As the Minister of State said, there is no question of any lobbying for anybody and there is no salary attached. It is something performed in the course of public service duties. We should not over-glamourise and over-romanticise the function.
