Martin Brady (Fianna Fail)

I welcome the Minister. He is proactive and has the respect of Members on all sides of the House and the public. He has always performed his duties in an efficient manner.

Any Bill that enhances safety is welcome. As Senator Donohoe said, transparency in the manner in which people are appointed to bodies is important but I would be surprised if the Minister did anything that did not conform to best practice and I am sure he will reply adequately to that issue.
