Tony Kett (Fianna Fail)

I agree with the sentiments expressed by Senator Cummins. The Minister's actions in this regard are very sensible because an element of flexibility is required in respect of membership of the authority. The authority could contain some very capable members, which one would like to retain, as well as some dead wood. Flexibility is needed in this regard. However, I wonder whether it will be possible to find someone who is prepared to put in six or more years of service.
