Council of Europe Development Bank Bill 2004: Committee and Remaining Stages.
3:00 pm
James Bannon (Fine Gael)
The Minister of State invited comment by asking me to suggest some names to him and that is where the element of cronyism crept in. I have every confidence in the officials of the Department of Finance. They are wonderful, excellent people who are an asset to the country. The Minister of State has not clarified the issue regarding the appointment of the nominee to the board.
