Joe O'Reilly (Fine Gael)

I genuinely and enthusiastically welcome the Minister's reply in this instance. I am very happy about it. I feel very strongly that it is important that the Seanad has an input into the legislation, not just in verbiage but in terms of output. For that reason, I am delighted that the Minister has decided to make an adjustment on Report Stage to accommodate this ambition, which is a reasonable one and simply seeks that we have probity and are seen to have such. As the Minister has said, ultimately the board will not have a difficulty with that. In fact, it will give the board the space it needs. I welcome the Minister's response and am happy to leave the amendment at that.
