Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail)

I appreciate the sentiments of both Senators. I would also point out that advertisements were placed in the national newspapers some weeks ago to invite expressions of interest from people interested in serving on the board of FÁS. I have not seen the final list of applicants but there is potentially a provision there for members of staff to apply. When this Bill was being considered on Committee Stage in the Dáil, I gave a commitment that submissions from the Joint Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment would be considered. I do not wish to comment on another amendment but if a member of staff of FÁS were to be part of that submission then I would give it precedence. However, I cannot accept this amendment.
