Grangegorman Development Agency Bill 2004: Committee and Remaining Stages.
5:00 pm
Mary Hanafin (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)
It is largely because the chief executive of the agency, or another person nominated by him or her, should be the chairperson it is appropriate that the reporting mechanisms are as they are. The person nominated by the chief executive shall not report back to the chief executive. That is an extra safeguard. As Senator Henry clarified, the consultative group can give the report to whomsoever it likes but the formal reporting is to the chairperson. This is the most efficient way of doing it and it strengthens their hand.
