Paschal Donohoe (Fine Gael)

I will not move amendment No. 9 in light of Government amendment No. 8. The spirit of this amendment and others was to try to increase the accountability of a potentially very powerful organisation to the Oireachtas, local authorities and to individuals and communities affected by its work. While the proof of the extent of this accountability will be apparent once the organisation is up and running, the amendment proposed by the Government does make some progress towards this end, therefore, I will not move my amendment.
