Tim O'Malley (Limerick East, Progressive Democrats)

My understanding is that under EU directives being implemented, all decisions of public bodies such as the one the Senator mentioned are taken on a consensus basis. I do not know if it would be the intention of the IMB to publish whether a decision was made on the casting vote of the chairperson. I do not see how that would be useful. It is still a consensus if the majority agree. That is the way in which all committees operate. That is my understanding of the matter raised by the Senator.
