Tony Killeen (Clare, Fianna Fail)

I apologise to Senator Quinn for not referring to amendment No. 16. We had a long discussion about whether a nominated officer would be preferable to a nominee of the court. It seems to me that there are some advantages in allowing the court to have a nominee. Situations arise where there are people of a particular expertise, perhaps, but also particular relations with employers and employees in some companies who might be quite successful in doing something which someone else could not do. On balance, leaving it to the nominee is the better arrangement.
