Brendan Kenneally (Fianna Fail)

The Minister of State has largely responded to the question I was going to ask. We have established a system of Oireachtas committees and so it is appropriate that many such matters should end up there. I recall from the debate on Second Stage, to which the Minister of State referred, that section 31 provides an opportunity for NORA's chief executive officer to appear before Oireachtas committees, including the Committee of Public Accounts and the Joint Committee on Communications, Marine and Natural Resources. After all, the people who will take any active part in such a debate are the spokespersons from the various parties. It would be better to do so in committee rather than in the Houses. The matter is largely covered in the legislation, so I would have thought the amendment was unnecessary.
