Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail)

I thank both Senators. The purpose of the Bill is to fundamentally change the structure and culture of the board of FÁS. Throughout the passage of the legislation, I have repeatedly stated we are seeking people with an interest in, or experience of, the functions of FÁS, including those with a background in finance, corporate governance and public administration. I am glad Senator Phelan clarified his remark about political affiliation.
