John O'Donoghue (Kerry South, Fianna Fail)

I am afraid that I must rely on the good sense of the chairperson and members of the authority to run the authority. If the members and board of the authority do not run the authority in a business-like, sufficient and efficient manner, it would clearly be open to the Minister of the day to move in and resolve the problem. I do not envisage a situation whereby people would be appointed as chairperson and members of the authority and would then decide not to have any meetings. It is best to leave such matters open to the board members and to the chairperson in particular.
