I move amendment No. 3:

In page 18, subsection (1), line 9, to delete "general administration of the".

Section 21 states, "The Chief Executive shall, at the request in writing of an Oireachtas Committee, attend before it to give account for the general administration of the Authority as may be required by the Committee". The phrase "general administration" is meaningless and I propose that it be deleted. The phrase may be intended to preclude detailed analysis of the kind demanded by the Department of Finance. Unless the Minister can convince me otherwise, I consider my amendment to be reasonable.
