Harbours (Amendment) Bill 2008: Report and Final Stages
12:00 pm
Noel Ahern (Dublin North West, Fianna Fail)
I was talking about him. I accept there is an issue. If it was in the legislation as one, it might nearly create a bigger problem. Issues such as that will need to be discussed in some sort of friendly way to come to a decision. The Minister, Deputy Dempsey, has given two commitments. First, it will not affect the term of office of any existing member, whose terms are running out fairly soon anyway depending on when the Bill is passed. Second, the Minister has given a commitment that as long as he is in office, one person will be appointed. That is the best I can do for the Senator.
