Jim Walsh (Fianna Fail)

I have not been persuaded by the Senator's argument. While I do not suggest the Bill should be amended, perhaps the provision relating to ministerial discretion could deal with this issue. It would be innovative if one of the chairmen of the joint policing committees were nominated to such position. Such a provision would knit things together nicely and would provide status for the joint policing committees. Perhaps the Minister will consider my suggestion.
