National Sports Campus Development Authority Bill 2006: Committee Stage.
8:00 pm
Frank Feighan (Fine Gael)
If, to use the Minister's example, a member of Fingal County Council had a conflict of interest, he or she could be excused from any voting by the board. I am sure the chairperson would ensure the criteria was in place to allow that. I ask the Minister to look at this amendment with a view to including local authority members on the board. This is a serious issue. The Sports Campus Development Authority would benefit from the influence of local authority members and would not result in the doomsday scenario the Minister outlined.
